You had EC Comics with Tales from the Crypt, Marvel’s Tales of Suspense, and DC Comics’ Detective Comics to name a few. Will some of them make our top five most influential comic anthologies? “Influential” in this ...
(AfroGamers.com) Is it time for more Judge Dredd? I believe it is. Almost three years ago, we went into the series’ first multi-part arc in “The Robot Wars”. This time, we go into a brief story from September 1977 in “Neon Knights” and I’m not talking about the Black Sabbath ...
