CHARLTON ACTION HEROES BUNDLE
Relive the Silver and Bronze Age appearances of the super-heroes of Charlton (and now, DC) Comics, with a special bundle containing Back Issue #79 and Alter Ego #106! First, former editor Dick Giordano takes you through the 1960s Silver Age, from his Charlton "Action-Hero" era to his first stint at DC, with art by STEVE DITKO, Pat Boyette, Pete Morisi, Frank Mclaughlin, Jim Aparo, Gil Kane, and others! Then it's on to the 1970s-80s Bronze age use of the characters at DC Comics, with Dave Gibbons on Charlton's Watchmen connection, Len Wein and Paris Cullins on their Blue Beetle work, Cary Bates and Pat Broderick's Captain Atom, and a look at the fabled Blockbuster Weekly, DC's unrealized Charlton heroes project!
MARVEL COMICS IN THE 1980S SC
(W) Pierre Comtois (A) Various (CA) Na
The third volume in Pierre Comtois' heralded series covers Marvel's final historical phase, when the movement begun by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and STEVE DITKO moved into a darker 1980s era that has yet to run its course. Covers comics such as the Chris Claremont/John Byrne X-Men, Frank Miller's Daredevil, the New Universe, Roger Stern's Avengers and Spider-Man, dark heroes like Wolverine and the Punisher, and more are all covered, in the analytic detail, and often irreverent manner, readers have come to expect from the previous 1960s and 1970s volumes.
