Book Description
In 1978, DC Comics launched a bold initiative to win over fans and retailers with an expanded line-up billed as "The DC Explosion." But mere weeks after its launch, DC's parent company pulled the plug, cancelling a slew of titles, and leaving stacks of completed comic book stories unpublished. Now, over 45 years after that "DC Implosion", TwoMorrows Publishing recalls one of the most notorious events in comics with an exhaustive oral history from Jenette Kahn, Paul Levitz, Len Wein, Mike Gold, Al Milgrom, and other creators and executives involved! Plus: detailed analysis and commentary by other top pros who were "just fans" in 1978 (Mark Waid, Michael T. Gilbert, Tom Brevoort, and more)--examining how it changed the landscape of comics forever! This new Expanded Edition of the sold-out Eisner Award-nominated book explodes in full cover for the first time, with additional coverage of lost 1970s DC projects like Ninja the Invisible and an adaptation of "The Wiz," Jim Starlin's unaltered cover art for Batman Family #21, content meant for cancelled Marvel titles such as Godzilla and Ms. Marvel, and more! By Keith Dallas and John Wells.

Paul Kupperberg blends his decades of expertise writing fun, engaging superhero comics with skillful prose to create a can't miss YA novel. This book is a blast.”—Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity “In his captivating novel, Supertown, Paul Kupperberg embraces his inner kid, the one who fell in love with comic books and superheroes. With heart and soul and a sense of humor, he brings to life that fantasy we’ve all dreamed of at one time or another: what it would feel like to become a superhero in real life!”—Michael Uslan, Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise and author of The Boy Who Loved Batman All young Wally Crenshaw wants is to be a super, ever since he saw Hyperion and the Justice Brigade save the day in Washington, DC. But nothing ever happens in his hometown. A strange atmospheric anomaly means the internet is only on a couple of hours a day and cell phones don’t work there at all. In many ways, Crumbly-by-the-Sea, New Jersey is the town that technology forgot. And that’s exactly why a certain super has retired there, hoping never to have to risk life and limb fighting superpowered villains or inter-dimensional aliens ever again. But sleepy Crumbly-by-the-Sea is about to get a wake-up call, and things may never be the same.

Book Description
"From the letters pages of Silver Age comics to his 2021 induction into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, the career of Dave Cockrum started at the bottom and then rose to the top of the comic book industry. Beginning with his childhood obsession with comics and continuing through his years in the Navy, The Life and Art of Dave Cockrum follows the rising star from fandom (where he was one of the "Big Three" fanzine artists) to pro-dom, where he helped revive two struggling comic book franchses: the Legion of Super-Heroes and the X-Men. His later work on his own property, The Futurians, as well as childhood favorite Blackhawk and T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, cemented his position as as an industry giant. Featuring artwork from fanzines, unused character designs, and other rare material, this is the comprehensive biography of the legendary comic book artist, whose influence is still felt on the industry today!"--Back cover.
