Review / Commentaries


Captain America Collectors Preview #1 Review by (December 31, 2018)

Review: The “upcoming issues” and video game articles are badly dated but Joe Simon's step-by-step is fascinating, Fred Hembeck's cartoons are hilarious, the vintage Cap story is enjoyable, and there is some heavy irony in the Hollywood essay. Is anyone actually going to hunt this down and read it because of my review? I'll sell you my copy.

Comments: One in a handful of Collectors' Previews at this time; others were Spider-Man, X-Men, Generation X, and Fantastic Four Atlantis Attacks.
