About the series
In the post-apocalyptic world of 1990s New York—now a radioactive wasteland called N'Yark—the feral yet noble Mighty Samson uses his superhuman strength to protect the scattered remnants of civilization from mutants and warlords. Published by Western/Gold Key across the 1960s and 1970s, this series blended classic science fiction with Bronze Age adventure, thanks to the storytelling of Otto Binder, Arnold Drake, and Gerry Boudreau, and the dynamic artwork of Jack Sparling, Frank Thorne, and José Delbo. A cult favorite for its imaginative world-building and gritty optimism, Mighty Samson stands as a distinctive entry in the canon of atomic-age heroes.
