The American Comic Book Chronicles continues with this volume about the 'Golden Age' of the comic book industry. It was a time when America's entry into World War II was presaged by the arrival of such patriotic do-gooders as Will Eisner's Uncle Sam, Harry Shorten and Irv Novick's The Shield, and Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's Captain America. It was when teenage culture found expression in a fumbling red-haired high school student named Archie Andrews. But most of all, the first five years of the 1940s was the age of the 'packagers' when studios headed by men like Harry A Chesler, Will Eisner, and Jerry Iger churned out material for a plethora of new comic book companies that published the entire gamut of genres, from funny animal stories to crime tales to jungle sagas to science-fiction adventures.

In the 1970s, talented artists from the Philippines were uncrowned kings of the comics-and no one drew more or better than Alfredo Alcala! He's best known in the U.S. for his dreamscape work on Savage Sword of Conan-but wait'll you get a look at Voltar, the barbarian hero Alcala created before the Cimmerian came to comics! Richard Arndt interviews his sons Alfred and Christian, where you'll see the best of the Master's work for Marvel, DC, Warren-and, perhaps most amazingly of all, from his native Philippines, where Alfredo had his own comicbook named after him!
