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!
