About the series

A short-lived but ambitious entry from Weekly Reader Books, SuperKernel Comics ran for 47 issues between 1981 and 1982, offering young readers a self-contained universe of original superhero adventures. Published during the peak of the direct market boom, the series is best remembered for its clean, accessible art and its role in bringing comic-book storytelling to a classroom-friendly audience. While it never reached the cultural saturation of the major publishers, its earnest, all-ages approach made it a distinctive footnote in early-80s comics.
