This sequel to Alter Ego: The Best of the Legendary Comics Fanzine
presents more fantastic features from the fabled mag begun in 1961 by
Jerry Bails & Roy Thomas-covering undiscovered gems from all 11
original issues published between 1961 and 1978! Editors Roy Thomas and
Bill Schelly uncover never-revealed secrets about the first super-hero
fanzine ever published, with vintage articles about Tor, Hawkman, the
Spectre, Blackhawk, the Justice League of America, the All Winners
Squad, Robotman, Wonder Woman, the Heap, the Lensmen/Green Lantern
connection, and so much more! Plus rarely-seen comics stories by Joe
Kubert (a gorgeous, unsold "Tor" newspaper strip), Ronn Foss ("The
Eclipse"), and Roy Thomas and Sam Grainger (adapting Gardner Fox's novel
"Warrior of Llarn"), as well as Roy's entire "Bestest League of
America" parody, collected for the first time ever! There's even a
never-before-reprinted 1977 interview with Jean Giraud ("Moebius"), plus
special sections on Bails' adzine The Comicollector and on "the A/E #10
that almost was"! It's all behind a classic cover of Gardner Fox and
his greatest creations by then-future Marvel artist Sam Grainger!
