Letters typeset
Notes Fictional "history" of the BIG BANG COMICS universe; tribute to Jim Steranko's History of Comics books, and to Jules Feiffer's The Great Comic Book Heroes (Dial Press, 1965 series). "Special thanks to Jim Steranko". The first volume of this was published in issue #24. Even though this consists of several mini-articles, the pages are numbered straight through, and the art is credited by page, so it has been indexed as one sequence. The art is spot illustrations throughout the article, many as fake covers.
