ComicsQuest

Alan returns to The Long Haul to something quite interesting. In 1973, Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson were at DC Comics and came together to collaborate on something a story that could be artistically fulfilling, that also ties to a Golden Age character and would run as a backup in Detective Comics. That comic would be Manhunter.
