*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: In the latter days of the 20th Century, Roy Thomas parlayed his long career as writer and editor to revive his former fanzine Alter Ego, now as a slick semi-pro ‘zine in which he could exploit his network of contacts to gather data from all aspects of the Golden and Silver Age of comics, including conducting interviews with all the surviving veterans he could reach. This labour of love proved successful, and is still running today – but we have acquired the first sixty issues of AE (2nd series), with a plethora of interviews, retrospectives, commentaries and seldom-seen or never-published artwork, covering not only Marvel and DC, but all of the companies of the Golden and Silver Ages. Issue #1, pictured, is NM £25; prices on the others, as always, to be found in our online catalogue.
