Big Bang Comics [ashcan]

Big Bang Comics [ashcan] is a single-issue promotional sampler from Caliber Press, released in 1993, that teases a universe of retro-inspired superheroes. The issue, associated with writer and artist Gary Carlson, serves as a compact introduction to the publisher's affectionate homage to Golden and Silver Age comic book tropes. Though brief, this ashcan marks the earliest glimpse of the Big Bang line, a project that would later expand into a full series celebrating classic comic storytelling.
