Classic Comics with Matthew B. Lloyd: “The Astral Avenger” – The Golden Age Starman
from Comics In Motion · host Comics In Motion Network
After my appearance on Superheroes for Dummies, I decided I wanted to do an episode focused on the Golden Age Starman. We’ll look at the three artists who workded on the strip, Jack Burnley, Mort Meskin and Emil Gershwin. We’ll read through three stories, and take a talk briefly about the two main writers, Alfred Bester and Gardner Fox.
