Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 13 is now available for your viewing pleasure! This all-new video takes us back almost 60 years to three brand new #1 comic books that appeared on my small town newsstand in the summers of 1965 and 1966.
In 1965, THUNDER Agents #1 blew me away with its stellar art and world-building by legendary artist Wallace Wood. The following summer of ’66 delivered the one-two punch of Al Williamson’s Flash Gordon and Will Eisner’s The Spirit. And none of this terrific threesome was put out by Marvel or DC! I take a look at each #1 issue, talk about the famed artists involved, and also how Jules Feiffer’s The Great Comic Book Heroes, published in late 1965, set the stage for the revival of Eisner’s The Spirit.
