Living legend Joe Gill talks to interviewer Jim Amash about his career in comics from the Golden Age to the Bronze and beyond, with behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the artists, editors and publishers Joe knew during his 30+ years and tens of thousands of pages of Charlton stories. Plus: Mark Burbey and Gene Phillips take in-depth looks at the origins of the Gill-Ditko action-heroes Captain Atom, Blue Beetle and The Question; Steve Skeates tells the story behind a story that began as a DC Phantom Stranger adventure and became a Charlton Dr. Graves tale with Marvel-ous overtones in "Graves Acting Strangely"; Ron Frantz recalls his 1980's collaborations with Gill, Ditko, McLaughlin, Toth and (almost) Harlan Ellison; and Steve Skeates returns with a personal memoir of his early Dr. Graves and Thane of Bagarth work with the late, great Jim Aparo. Also: A detailed look at the 1970's Charlton "text stories experiment" by Ramon Schenk and new installments of Nicola Cuti's Weirdlings cartoons and Howard Davis' With Pen & Brush, all wrapped inside a special Joe Gill cover painting by ex-Charlton writer-editor Nicola Cuti. 80 pages, B&W. Cover price $7.95.
