A standout issue in The Comics Journal’s early run, #43 (1978) delivers sharp, varied commentary from Jim Dawson, Lyle Chesney, and Frank Watson, covering everything from a glowing take on Popeye’s antics in Gold Key’s #140 to pointed critiques of Marvel Preview and Mister Miracle. With writing and art by Doug Hazlewood, Michael Kure, and Martin Cannon—each contributing distinct styles—and a striking cover by Dennis Fujitake, this 1.25 USD deep dive into comics of the era remains a vivid snapshot of 1978’s fan discourse.
