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.
