CS-Cartoonist Showcase

From 1968 to 1971, Edwin Aprill’s Cartoonist Showcase ran for twelve issues, a short-lived but eclectic anthology that spotlighted a rotating cast of top-tier talent. Most frequently featuring the writing of Archie Goodwin, Russ Manning, and Ian Fleming, and the art of Al Williamson, Russ Manning, and Jim Holloway, the series offered a mix of adventure, humor, and genre storytelling. While brief, it stands as a snapshot of late-1960s comics creativity, showcasing the versatility of its contributors in a format that let each issue’s lineup shine.
