The Golden Age Firsts Of Quality Comics: Volume 1: Gwandanaland Comics #2005 --- First Appearances, Critical Changes, and New Directions For Some of The Golden Age's Most Important Characters

By Quality Comics

For 20 years (1937-1956), from the beginning to the end of the Golden Age of Comics, Quality Comics published some of the most innovative and highest-quality comics in history. Their stable of popular characters, and the line-up of masterful writers and artists, were at the top of the field. Sadly, their books couldn't survive the downturn of the mid-1950s.... but some of the most important moments have been brought back to life in Gwandanaland Comics GOLDEN AGE FIRSTS series. These books will present important beginnings: first appearances of characters, important changes in their evolution, the origins of evil villains, and much more.
