The Comics Journal #70

The Comics Journal #70 (1982) delivers sharp, varied takes from a roster of critics, with Carter Scholz offering a mixed take on Bizarre Adventures #29 while spotlighting Walt Simonson’s art, and Elizabeth Smith weighing in on Wonder Woman #288. Gene Phillips assesses Mike Grell’s Starslayer #1 with nuance, while R. Fiore critiques Steve Gerber’s "The Model" and offers a cautious nod to Russ Cochran’s EC anthology. Dale Luciano praises Hunt Emerson’s Thunderdogs and Dave Boswell’s Reid Fleming, with mild appreciation for Steve Martin’s Zodiac and FantaCo’s Alien Encounters #1. The issue’s cover, drawn and inked by Frank Miller, adds a bold visual punch to the diverse commentary.
