Also this issue, writer Robbie Morrison reveals his “Desert Island Comics”; and the team put Joe Simon and Jack Kirby’s Mainline company and the pitfalls they encountered in the spotlight.
Finn Miles also explores modern indie comics and the rise of Image, which give the world alternatives to the publications of Marvel and DC.
