After his debut in October of 1962, Doctor Solar swiftly rose to join Magnus, Robot Fighter as one of Gold Key's most popular original heroes. Stunning painted covers sucked in even the most casual comics reader, and the source of Solar's astounding powers-nuclear radiation-addressed one of the biggest fears of the day. While the character has been reinvented in the decades since, his adventures in this archive of Gold Key and Wilson comics completes the body of work that formed his foundation. This collection restores and reprints issues twenty-three through thirty-one of the original Doctor Solar comic-book series-the revolutionary science-fiction adventure that gave birth to one of comics' most distinctive and beloved superheroes-for the first time in over forty years.
His guest appearance in The Occult Files of Dr. Spektor #14 is also included, making this the biggest Doctor Solar volume of them all!
Hardcover, 200 pages, full color.
