I Wonder, Man

Batman & Robin #7
I don't know about this issue.
Cameron Stewart is a good artist but it doesn't seem to fit Grant's story.

Marvel's Superman
I bought the first four issues of The Age of the Sentry for 50c each at a back issue sale. I feel that I gained my money's worth. The stories are of a Silver Age Superman flavor, much like Alan Moore's Supreme stories. These seemed to be comicbook st
