COMIC BOOK CREATOR #47 FOC August 31, 2026

PRE ORDER FOC DATE August 31, 2026 / ON SALE DATE December 9, 2026 CBC #47 gets positively Epic with our tribute issue devoted to Archie Goodwin, editor/writer supreme, as we talk to friends and colleagues about the exceptionally talented and much beloved man, with a comprehensive focus on his helmsmanship of Epic Illustrated and the eclectic and wide-ranging Epic Comics line of the ’80s. Plus, since we’re in the Epic groove, things get in-depth and definitive with a years-in-the-making, lengthy feature talking with Michael Wm. Kaluta and Elaine Lee about their wild and enduring Starstruck projects, which started as an Off-Broadway stage production and blossomed into a comic-book series that has traversed the decades. Also, Shaun Clancy investigates the life and art of Hal Seeger, animator of Batfink and Milton the Monster and comics creator of Leave It to Binky for DC and G.I. Jane for Stanhall. Additionally, we include a conversation with Rick Altergott in the first installment of a comprehensive interview with the Doofus creator, as well as a look at the best comics parodies in National Lampoon, with art by Neal Adams, Russ Heath, Barry Windsor-Smith, and others. Oh, all this and Hembeck, too! Edited by Jon B. Cooke.
