COMIC BOOK CREATOR #42 Pat Broderick

CBC #42 features Pat Broderick, in two  interviews by CBC's editors, in which he recalls a varied career bouncing between DC and Marvel, starting as a DC Junior Bullpen contest winner in the early ’70s, a turn as one of Continuity's "Crusty Bunkers," and unforgettable work on Firestorm, The Micronauts, and Captain Marvel, as co-creator of DC's “Creature Commandos,” and his life to date as a professional stalwart toiling in and out of the mainstream. We also present an amazing campaign comic book artifact from the 1940s about a KKK-crushing district attorney, Fighting Lawyer! Additionally, there’s a Paul Buhle profile about one radical academic comics editor you need to know about, as well as the first half of CBC's Shary Flenniken interview about her runaway youth, her stint with the "Air Pirates," and the creation of Trots ’n Bonnie for National Lampoon. Also included is a look at a batch of ginchy super-heroes created in 1972 by Bernie Wrightson, Ralph Reese, Barry Windsor-Smith, and others for Esquire magazine. There are also all the usual contributor goodies and Fred Hembeck, plus a bonus section about Steve Willis! Edited by Jon B. Cooke.
