Shooting Star Comics Anthology #4
"Idol Hands" in Shooting Star Comics Anthology #4 (2004) finds the Time Meddlers attempting to profit from history by making a few well-timed cash grabs—like snatching a case of Action Comics #1 from a truck—only to discover that altering the past isn’t quite as easy as it seems. Written by Michael Hutchison and illustrated by Phil Meadows, with inks and letters also by Meadows, the story unfolds with a sharp, wry edge. The cover by Jeff Moy and W. C. Carani captures the chaotic energy of the time-traveling caper.
