Yet today, it’s practically forgotten.What went wrong? Was this adaptation doomed from the start? And why is a comic based on one of the most celebrated sci-fi novels of all time selling for pennies? We’re diving deep into this fascinating relic, exploring the rise and fall of Innovation Publishing, and revealing exclusive insights from Courtney Crumrin creator Ted Naifeh, who got his start on this very series.Join us as we uncover the lost history of Shadow of the Torturer in comics—because some stories deserve to be told.🔔 Subscribe &amp; hit the bell so you don’t miss more deep dives into rare and forgotten comics!#GeneWolfe #BookOfTheNewSun #ShadowOfTheTorturer #SciFiComics #RareComics #InnovationPublishing #ComicHistory #ForgottenComics #TedNaifeh #CourtneyCrumrin #LostMedia #Severian #NebulaAward #SciFiFantasy #UnderratedComics #DeepDive #ObscureComics #90sComics #ComicAdaptations #GraphicNovel #ComicBookCollectors #FantasyComics #DuelWithDeath #ComicIndustry #ComicBookHistoryPhotos &amp; ThanksVery Special Thanks to Dærick Gröss Jr. https://bsky.app/profile/daerickgross...Very Special Thanks to Ted Naifeh https://www.tednaifeh.com/  / z6v9ep2fbb  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Pagehttps://comicbookrealm.com/By It is believed that the cover art can or could be obtained from Oni Press., Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...https://www.deviantart.com/deimos-rem...By Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the book cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party).

DC’s Blackhawk #248 (October 1976) continues the Blackhawks’ battle against the villainous Biolord, who threatens to obliterate Great Britain with a million-megaton missile. In this thrilling installment, Blackhawk risks his life to sabotage the missile mid-air, only to learn that Chuck had tampered with its guidance system. The Blackhawks then face Biolord’s deadly Metadroids, forcing them to choose between his morally ambiguous plan to “save the planet” or fighting to the bitter end. With the help of Duchess Fatale and Andre, Biolord is seemingly defeated—but his consciousness transfers into a jet-propelled body, resulting in a final showdown with devastating consequences.This issue features the creative talents of writer David Anthony Kraft, penciller James Sherman, inker George Evans, colorist Carl Gafford, and letterer Gaspar Saladino, under editor Gerry Conway and executive editor Jenette Kahn. The cover was crafted by Pablo Marcos and Vincent Colletta. Blackhawk #248 encapsulates the quirky, high-stakes storytelling of the 1970s, complemented by stellar artwork and dynamic action. The issue is a snapshot of an era when DC was experimenting with bringing classic heroes into modern settings.For a full breakdown, analysis, and trivia about this iconic issue, watch the video and let us know your thoughts in the comments!#Blackhawk #DCComics #Biolord #JamesSherman #DavidAnthonyKraft #1970sComics #ComicBooks #VintageComics #ComicArt #Superheroes #DCUniverse #GoldenAgeComics #SilverAgeComics #JenetteKahn #GerryConway #GeorgeEvans #ComicBookArt #ComicHistory #ComicBookReview #ReadTheFreakingComics #ComicCollectors #RetroComics #ComicBookCulture #ComicBookCommunity #OldSchoolComicsNotes and ThanksSpecial Thanks to Jim Shermanhttps://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel...https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/DC_Comics_...https://www.newsfromme.com/2021/05/20...By Nightscream - Own work, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...https://www.jimkeefe.com/studio/evans...https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/people...https://pablomarcos.com/biography/By Franklin222 at English Wikipedia, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Todd Klein - Kleinletters Blog, http://kleinletters.com/Blog/gaspar-s..., CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Groink - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...By Dick Thomas Johnson from Tokyo, Japan - Deadpool 2 Japan Premiere Red Carpet: Ryan Reynolds, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center) - Description text and image both imported from http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/in..., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...https://pablomarcos.com/By Unknown author - https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Columbi..., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...By Anonymous - http://herocomplex.latimes.com/movies..., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Not Listed - https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IkWJD9cGIR..., Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Martin Kraft - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By Claudette Barius - HarperCollins book publicity, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...By DC Studios - Original source: https://www.thewrap.com/dc-studios-ne... version: https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/File:DC...

Released in July 1977, The Amazing Spider-Man #170 hit the shelves as Star Wars dominated theaters and Rumors by Fleetwood Mac topped the charts. In this issue, Spider-Man faces Doctor Faustus, a villain who uses mind-controlling gas in a plot involving a tampered vaccine. Spider-Man falls under Faustus&#39; spell but recovers in time to stop his scheme. The story also features a key subplot with the burglar who killed Uncle Ben, which ties into future issues, especially The Amazing Spider-Man #200.Written by Len Wein, known for co-creating Wolverine, the story captures Spidey&#39;s evolution from a nerdy outcast to a more confident hero. However, Peter Parker doesn’t appear out of costume, keeping the focus on Spider-Man.Ross Andru’s artwork, inked by Mike Esposito and Frank Giacoia, showcases dynamic action scenes, though some panels scale Spidey oddly small compared to Faustus’ henchmen. Still, Andru’s cityscapes are iconic.The comic also features classic 1970s ads, including muscle-building courses and Hostess snack cakes with Iron Man. It’s a fun time capsule of the era, even if the story isn’t the most compelling.Like, subscribe, and comment if you enjoyed this breakdown—and remember, support real artists!Sources:Marvel ComicsDC ComicsWikipediaGoogle MapsPhotos:The queue outside the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver for the first screening of Star Wars on June 24, 1977.
