XAL KOR THE RETURN COMIC/ PROSE HYBRID

Xal-Kor was created by Richard "Grass" Green, a pioneer in those days of fandom not only for giving us the Human Cat, but being back then one of, if not the only initially, African-American producing work for the fanzines. With his dynamic style clearly inspired by Jack "King" Kirby, Grass Green's Xal-Kor was a '70s Marvel Comics kind of superhero. This one-shot delivers adventure, while being reminiscent of fandom's Golden Age, but with a modernistic undercurrent.
