Back in the 1950s, during the Cold War, every day beckoned with the possibility of the end of the world. Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for 'foreigners' who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the 'red' menace of communism. Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and World War III. This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! (#1-4, November, 1952-April, 1953) and World War III (#1-2, March, 1952 and May, 1953) and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic 'war' comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today's tribulations.

Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the “granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk. The strip hit the funny pages of newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances and has been acknowledged as an influence on every “masked man of mystery” since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books — it has frequently been copied but never equaled. This exciting 10th volume of the full color Sundays continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Five complete continuities drawn by Sy himself which continue the adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his two children. This volume starts with “Alexander's Diamond Cup” September 20, 1970 and concludes with “The Hawk Master” which concludes on February 11, 1973. Also included is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
