Back in the Sixties, a comic book series called T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents failed to attract a large-enough audience to keep its publisher afloat.  How odd then that, more than thirty years later, there are enough fans of the comic to warrant a whole issue of Comic Book Artist devoted to it.  But there apparently are.  Jon B. Cooke and his thunderous squad of interviewers and researchers have tracked down most of the surviving contributors for interviews, and even dug up heretofore-unpublished artwork.  The result is a terrific overview and a tonweight of comic book history and information that would have been lost if Jon and Company hadn't cobbled together this issue.  So far, every issue of CBA has managed something of the sort.  I only wish it had come along years ago, so more creators could have divulged more info before they left us.

You can pick up a copy at any good comic shop or by visiting the TwoMorrows website and, yes, I'll even supply you with a link.
