The Steranko History of Comics #2
In "How It Happened (More or Less)," C. C. Beck—writing, drawing, inking, and lettering every page—tells the legendary tale of how Captain Marvel came to be, as the fictional publisher Forcemeat tasks B. P. and Beck with crafting the world’s greatest cartoon character. The story unfolds with a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of an icon, rendered in Beck’s unmistakable style, while Jim Steranko’s dynamic cover captures the moment’s electric energy.
