Back in time we go to the mid-50s, just before the return of The Flash and the advent of the Silver Age. Or rather, just before the destruction of the comics industry by Wertham and his cronies and the introduction of the Comics Code. Depends how full your glass is today.
My copy is coverless, and no wonder. That's a Frank Frazetta cover up there, and it's fucking gorgeous. I would be completely unsurprised to find that the cover to my copy ended up gracing a wall somewhere. Beautiful.
The stories inside are pretty good, a couple of nice adventure/drama/science fiction newspaper reprints and some odd 2-pagers about "real heroes" and the heroic things they did. A cool little glimpse back at the history of the medium and its origins in the Platinum Age.
Which I will read some stuff from, promise. Just gotta figure out what.
More to follow.
