“New Action Fun”

In "New Action Fun," Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey bring the chaotic, colorful birth of superhero comics to life, tracing the origins of iconic moments: the creation of Superman at DC, the meeting of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, and the explosive rise of Captain America. With bold artwork and sharp storytelling, this issue captures the raw energy of a new era, as the Jack Kirby style begins to take shape—before the fallout that would reshape the industry. Cover by Ryan Dunlavey.
