Dr. Lancaster Hill

A product of the scrappy, ambitious Bronze Age of comics, Dr. Lancaster Hill made his entrance in 1975 through Seaboard's Thrilling Adventure Stories #1, brought to life by Gabriel Levy and Jack Sparling. Though his footprint in the catalog is a compact four appearances spread across Thrilling Adventure Stories and Tigerman, he's an intriguing figure from one of the era's most fascinating independent publishers, a genuine alternative to the Big Two at a moment when comics were pushing boundaries in every direction. Collectors with a taste for Bronze Age deep cuts and a soft spot for Seaboard's bold, short-lived experiment will find Hill a rewarding discovery — a character whose story is inseparable from one of the most spirited underdogs in comics history.
