A landmark 1981 issue of The Comics Journal captures the industry at a turning point, with headlines spotlighting Marvel’s shift to direct sales, Pacific Comics’ new specialty-only titles, and Gene Colan’s surprising move to DC. With contributions from legends like Gil Kane on the cover and interior art by Hank Ketcham, Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, and others, this issue offers sharp commentary on the evolving comics landscape—complete with a standout 20-page story in RAW #3 and a rare look at the Smithsonian’s plans to reprint classic tales.
