Heroes of the Golden Age Return...


I'm ecstatic to finally see Alex Ross' Project SuperPowers!
It's everything I hoped in a Golden Age revival; respectful to the original material, but willing to tread new ground. Beautiful covers, nice inside art (though I hear the artist will, unfortunately, be leaving soon.), clever writing.
Two words: BUY IT!

And, if after reading Project SuperPowers #0 (Available now! BUY IT!), you have a craving for kool kollectibles based on the ORIGINAL 1940s versions of the characters, pop over to Atomic Kommie Comics: Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics where their classic cover art has been digitally-restored and remastered onto goodies ranging from messenger bags to t-shirts to mousepads to blank sketchbooks to Lord-Knows-What-Else. It's NOT Alex Ross, but it IS some of the best comics art ever from greats like Mac Raboy, Lou Fine, Reed Crandall, and Alex Schomburg, among others! Plus: multiple cover images for a number of characters including Black Terror, Fighting Yank, The Face (Mr. Face), Miss Masque (Masquerade), Samson, The Flame, Green Lama, The Owl,and Frankenstein (F-Troop)

One more time: BUY PROJECT SUPERPOWERS!

The Amazing Alex Ross has reimagined a group of long-gone heroes (and a few villains) from various defunct companies in a new series set in a new continuity--SuperPowers!
Buy the book! It's one of the best things he's ever done!
We've found a new line of goodies (tees, messenger bags, mousepads, magnets, sketchpads,etc.) based on the original appearances of the characters he's resurrected...
The Arrow
AirMan
Amazing-Man
America's Best Comics (one of the first hero anthology titles)
The Black Terror
The Black Terror 2
Captain Battle
Cat-Man
Cat-Man 2
The Claw
DareDevil (now the "Death-Defying Devil")
Detective Eye
Doc Strange
The Face (Now known as "Mr Face")
The Face 2
Fantom of the Fair
Fantom of the Fair 2
Fighting Yank
Fighting Yank 2
The Flame
The Flame 2

Miss Masque (now known as "Masquerade")
Monster of Frankenstein (the basis for the F-Troop)
The Owl

and The Lost Heroes of the Golden Age
Note that these products use the original 1940s-1950s comics covers, NOT Alex Ross' artwork.
For that, you should BUY SuperPowers! (did I say that already?)
