Age of Tomorrow - Story and Inks by Bob Layton. Pencils by Don Perlin. Cover by Mike Mignola. Spinning out of Operation Stormbreaker, Doctor Tomorrow is set in 1942, as Bart Simms, the son of a World War II munitions corporate magnate, stumbles upon a device that will alter the destiny of humanity: a fully loaded Angel Computer with five gigs of memory, 188 megabytes of RAM, and DVDs loaded with all of the most important information in the world of 1997 -- fifty five years in the future! But is this computer Simms' chance to be Earth's greatest hero? Or is it simply a Pandora's Box? Said to be Bob Layton's "final statement" about the super hero genre and the nature of the Valiant Universe in particular, Doctor Tomorrow spans six decades as Simms struggles more and more desperately to hold onto his glory and ideals, even as the world around him grows darker and grimmer. Layton also inks this issue and a series of guest artists are scheduled to do work on future issues of the 12-part series. 32 pages, full color. Cover price $2.50.
