Comics Parade #4
This is the fourth volume in Arédit-Artima's Comics Parade series, a French collection reprinting classic American newspaper comic strips from the mid-20th century. This issue continues the series' format of presenting a curated selection of daily and Sunday strips, offering readers a nostalgic look at the storytelling and art styles of that era.
"Myste la mystérieuse" delivers a sharp, tense thriller in Comics Parade #4 (1986), a standout issue from Marv Wolfman’s early work, illustrated with bold precision by Keith Pollard and brought to life with dynamic inks by Romeo Tanghal and vibrant colors by Tom Ziuko. When two rival mob bosses are assassinated and the Assistant D.A., Marcia King, spares the killers to uncover their employer, the vigilante known as Vigilante takes justice into his own hands—only to be brutally wounded. With his secret identity at risk, J.J. makes a desperate move, commandeering an ambulance to hide the injured hero before Captain Hall and the police arrive.
