 Eugene Lycosa lives with the curse of his ancestor, a count who stopped a tarantula cult at great personal cost. Starring a creepy “hero” who eats bad guys, Micheal Fleisher and Pat Boyette’s Weird Suspense is one of the better Atlas (Seaboard) debuts. [More] Reviews (DC)
 “To Kill a Legend,” a gem of a story from Alan Brennert and Dick Giordano, anchors this above-average “anniversary” collection, which also features work from Len Wein, Mike W. Barr, Joe Kubert, Jim Aparo, Walter Simonson and many more.

Diana Prince teams with Jonny Double in an effort to protect the “King of Beautiful Women.” Dated-but-eminently-enjoyable fun from Denny O’Neil, Don Heck and Dick Giordano. [More] Reviews (Marvel)
Silver Dagger breaks into the Sanctum Sanctorum, steals the Eye of Agamotto and Clea, and leaves Doctor Strange for dead. [More] Reviews (DC)
A blow to the head leaves Batman confused — and soon he’s fighting crime as Bruce Wayne, superhero! Throw in a villain called the Dodo Man and the lead feature by David V. Reed and John Calnan is as silly as it sounds. Luckily, the backup story by Denny O’Neil and Michael Golden is a cut above. [More] Reviews (Marvel)
Who is Ms. Marvel? Not even she knows — but that doesn’t stop her from battling the Scorpion! Carol Danvers gets promoted to superheroine status in this substantial-feeling debut from the team of Gerry Conway, John Buscema and Joe Sinnott. [More] Reviews (DC)
The finger prints of Charles Dickens are all over this DC reprint digest, as the Victorian author’s classic serves as the inspiration for more than one tale. (Except for Jack Kirby’s Bronze Age Sandman adventure, of course, a story widely distributed for the first time in this issue.)

When the Justice League’s very first foes reappear, new Leaguers must battle original members before the team can stand united against the threat. Gerry Conway’s story does its job, but the real treat here is the art of George Pérez, Jim Aparo, Joe Kubert and others. [More] Reviews (DC)
Locked in the JLA satellite, the Justice League and Justice Society investigate who among them is a murderer. The conclusion to this Gerry Conway two-parter stumbles, keeping it from being a classic. (The interior art, of course, is by Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin.) [More] Reviews (DC)
As a mysterious villain continues to taunt the Batman, allies Robin and Alfred look to their pasts. This origins-recounting series by Len Wein loses a little steam with its second issue, but the art by Jim Aparo is quite masterful. [More]  |
