The Golden Age #[nn]

In the aftermath of the war, Tex Thompson—back from Europe and aiming for a political future—sets out to forge a new hero to counter the rising Soviet threat, bypassing Al Pratt in favor of the reclusive former Dan the Dyna-Mite. Meanwhile, Paul Kirk, returning from abroad tormented by visions, finds himself pursued by forces he can’t yet understand, as the past begins to catch up with him. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Paul Martin Smith, this issue—“2”—delivers a tense, character-driven story of legacy, identity, and the weight of history, with cover art by Paul Smith.
