Time Lines


    Here we are at last in the remaining years of the 1950s, quite possibly the lowest point for the mystery-men. But these final years will see the slow rebirth of the superhero genre, which, by the Second Heroic Age, will bring the good guys and gals back in full force to the comic book field and make superhero comics the dominant comic book genre to this day. We realize as we've done this twelve-part series that it is incomplete and in some cases inaccurate. When we reboot this section in our next volume we will endeavor to solve the problems that plagued us the first time through. So get ready for the reformatted Time Lines in our next issue! Now onward through....
