In 1976, Stan Lee and John Romita started a SPIDER-MAN newspaper strip that was pretty darn good but it was long past the days when strips could sell papers so it disappeared quickly in most cities. The strip didn’t end, though. COMICS IN CRISIS takes a brief look at just how bad that same strip has gotten after dragging on now about three FREAKIN’ decades too long, still credited to Stan the Man and with art for the past twenty years or so by little brother Larry Lieber.

Nick Cuti and Joe Staton’s E-MAN is another often revived series. It’s a hard to describe strip that’s part super-hero, part sci-fi, part adventure, part whimsy. See for yourself in the first appearance of Alec Tronn from his 1973 Charlton debut here:

Recently we linked to the oft revived BLACK TERROR in what appeared to be a goofy plastic costume. Here we have multiple BLACK TERROR stories of the character in his prime from his own book as well as from AMERICA’S BEST COMICS and EXCITING COMICS. Art by Mort Meskin, Ruben Moriera, Alex Schomburg and Frank Frazetta.
