JSA Strange Adventures #3

A winged, caped hero surges through a desperate brawl on John Watson's cover, fending off a horde of grotesque, stitched-together figures in what looks like a dungeon chamber — it's a visceral, beautifully painted image that captures the pulpy spirit this series wears so proudly. JSA Strange Adventures #3 channels the feel of golden-age adventure anthologies while delivering all-new stories from Anderson, Kitson, and Erskine. If you love your superhero action tinged with horror and a retro sensibility, this December 2004 issue makes a compelling case for itself right from the cover.
