TwoMorrows to give one of Riverdale’s architects his due in the world of capes…
We’ve been going on about how Archie Comics could make a pile of cash by releasing a bunch of its classic MLJ/Mighty Crusaders issues as Facsimile Editions — especially when you consider that Riverdale mainstays like Bob Montana and Harry Lucey were among artists like Irv Novick, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.
Anyway, TwoMorrows’ Alter Ego just happens to be giving Lucey a superhero spotlight come 2028.
Dig the solicitation info for the issue, and one centered on Marvel’s Sam Kweskin:
ALTER EGO #207
Harry Lucey is remembered as one of the primo Golden Age artists of Archie Andrews and his Riverdale Gang—but he also had a powerful hand in The Hangman, Madame Satan, Fireball, The Wizard, Magno the Magnetic Man, Lash Lightning, and Sam Hill, Private Eye—as related this issue by Richard Rubenfeld. Plus: P.C. Hamerlinck’s FCA and Michael T. Gilbert’s (and Mr. Monster’s) Comic Crypt—and more! Cover by Harry Lucey and Joe Rubinstein. Edited by Roy Thomas.
Print: $10.95
Digital: $4.99
