Comics Buyer's Guide #490

Apr 1983 · Krause Publications · 1.00 USD

A 1983 issue packed with comics trivia, this one spotlights Johnny Craig’s work on Brave and the Bold #70, a deep dive into the 36 Richie Rich titles from Harvey, the surprising first-color choices for Hulk, Iron Man, and Rom, and the lesser-known fact that Gil Kane was originally named Eli Katz—all curated with the sharp wit and charm Fred Hembeck brings to every page.
