This Charlton house magazine from Bob Layton’s CPL/Gang Publications features The Question by Roger Stern, Michael Uslan and Alex Toth, and Doomsday +1 from John Byrne. If only Charlton’s regular lineup was that good!
READWulf joins forces with the Free Swordsmen’s Guild to save the city of Rama-Kesh from a magically induced drought. Another surprisingly strong outing from the Atlas (Seaboard) team of Larry Hama and Klaus Janson.
READA trio of short stories – including a Human Target tale by the winning team of Len Wein, Neal Adams and Dick Giordano – all take a backseat to a subtle-but-iconic Nick Cardy cover.
READBad science and other silliness undermine what should have been a promising superhero anthology. Only the Neal Adams cover and some above-average Batman art from Michael (Nasser) Netzer save this one from being a total stinker.
READIn the lead feature by Elliot S. Maggin and Mike Grell, Robin and Batgirl team to stop an invasion led by Benedict Arnold and Satan. Throw in a few reprints – including a Neal Adams Man-Bat story – and you’ve got a fine debut issue of The Batman Family.
READThe Young Aquarians team with Batman and the Teen Titans to defend a neighborhood from the establishment and the mob. A dated – make that VERY dated – story from Bob Haney, with great art from Bat-art-legends Jim Aparo and Neal Adams.
READSuperman teams with Doctor Fate to battle alien high lamas who are willing to sacrifice Earth to reach nirvana. More Silver Age than Bronze in tone, the lead feature by Len Wein, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella is silly but fun.
READLike the Image comics of the 1990s, Star*Reach’s anthology titles like Imagine often let star artists experiment with writing – and the results could be just as self-indulgent. This issue includes work by Neal Adams, Marshall Rogers, Dave Sim and others.
READCaptain Victory and his crew explore an Insecton hive, while Ms. Mystic chases poachers in her comics debut. A pair of creator-owned tales from two of comics’ all-time greats, Jack Kirby and Neal Adams.
READSuperman and a depowered Wonder Woman are swept into the future as a mechanical being tries to save the past. A dated lead story by the creative team of Denny O'Neil, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella falls short of the gorgeous Neal Adams cover, while a pair of reprints offer little added value.
