Longbox Review

Pulled from the longbox, I talk about Adventure Comics (v1) #459 (cover date September/October 1978). This dollar comic format featured six "all-new super-star features," including the Flash, Deadman, Green Lantern, the New Gods, Elongated Man, and Wonder Woman. Let's find out if it's really a "fabulous first issue--launching the most exciting new comic of the decade!"
