A standout issue in Fantagraphics’ early run, The Comics Journal #41 (1978) delivers sharp, eclectic commentary from Dwight R. Decker, Jim Dawson, Ruben-George Toyos, and John DiPrete. Decker dissects Thor #272 and Action Comics #484 with his signature wit, Dawson unpacks the surreal highs and lows of Howard the Duck #24–26, Toyos examines Power Man’s cultural footprint in issue #50, and DiPrete offers a playful take on a trivia quiz book—all framed by Steve Leialoha’s striking cover art.
