About the series

For nearly twelve years and 119 issues, The Comic Reader served as an essential news magazine for the comic book industry, published by Street Enterprises. Chronicling the Bronze Age with a mix of interviews, reviews, and market reports, it was most frequently written and illustrated by a dedicated team including Chuck Fiala, Jim Engel, and a pre-Uncle Scrooge Don Rosa. While its covers often featured Marvel's Thor, the series' true importance lies in its role as a passionate, fan-driven chronicle of the era's creators and trends, making it a cornerstone of early comics journalism.
