Back Issue! #67, September



Beginning with its awesome Batman Gotham By Gaslight cover Back Issue! #67 from TwoMorrows Publishing looks at time travel both figuratively and literally with some interesting comic book retrospectives.


Some of my favorite artists who got their start in the Bronze Age are featured including P. Craig Russell and John Byrne.  Modern Age newcomers that made a name for themselves include Arthur Adams and Dan Jurgens.



Time travel has always fascinated comic book readers and what better way to spotlight time travel than featuring Booster Gold, Kang and Bill & Ted.



Here’s what you expect to read by Gaslight.
