Bad news to report. While Dad’s hip surgery went great, other life matters have escalated to the point where I have no choice but to shutter Comics Bronze Age for the foreseeable future. I certainly hope to bring it back at some point, but, at least for now, my time and energy are required elsewhere. Thanks to everyone for the support over the past two years. It’s been a lot of fun.

Next week: From the Editor I’ve unexpectedly run headlong into a series of outside commitments — beginning with helping care for my dad during his recovery from hip surgery — that will take me out of town for a few weeks. Sadly, this means Comics Bronze Age will be going into reruns for a while. I’ll do my best to keep the rerun mix interesting, and will post an update when new reviews are set to return. Meanwhile, look for a “new” rerun review each weekday. Thank you for your patience. [More] Reviews (DC)
