Epitaphs from the Abyss

Oni Press's new "EC" imprint first came to my attention when my retailer gave me a double-sided promotional poster (because I buy all those archival EC reprints published by Dark Horse and Fantagraphics and IDW). I thought it was a good sign that the

MMW Defenders v9

The first issue of The Defenders I every bought was Giant-Size #1 in 1974; the second issue I bought was (probably) #106 (1982), which was a crossover with Captain America. When Trish Starr appeared in Hulk #233 (1979) and I had no idea who she was,

Captain Victory

The story behind Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers is almost as convoluted as that of Jack Kirby's Hunger Dogs graphic novel. It started out as a screenplay by Jack Kirby and Steve Sherman; when that didn't pan out, it was repurposed as a 17-p

The Hunger Dogs, Kirby's Way

If you were a fan of Jack Kirby's "Fourth World" titles and then read his "epic conclusion," The Hunger Dogs, chances are you were disappointed. That's largely because DC Comics, in their infinite wisdom, decided to purposefully present the pages wil
