*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: A rich selection of fanzines from both sides of the pond this update! From the UK, we have two early Alan Austin ‘zines, Aftermath (1971) and An Adzine (1970); Arkensword, including a double issue featuring interviews with Alan Moore, Brian Bolland, Howard Chaykin, and a very saucy Bollo cover (pictured); Orpheus from 1971, with artwork by Steve Parkhouse and a fledgling Barry Smith (pre-Windsor) and a run of the stripzine Paper Empire, which continued (with Moore’s consent) the adventures of Alan Moore’s ‘Captain Empire’, introduced in the Moore/Davis ‘Captain Britain’ series. From our colonial cousins, we offer 1971’s Comics Fandom Monthly, with writing by Paul Levitz, Tony Isabella, Don & Maggie Thompson, Joe Brancatelli, and Mark Evanier; Collector, from 1973, with seldom-seen art by Kirby, Ditko, and Don Newton; the 1980 Rocket’s Blast/Comic Collector Harlan Ellison Special and a selection of the more recent ‘prozines’, Alter Ego (second series), Back Issue, Comic Book Artist (1st Series) and Comic Profiles.
