PRE-SALE: BACK ISSUE #172

What would a hero be without a good villain? Pretty boring—which is why Back Issue #172 spotlights those who would do our heroes harm, in our Big Bad issue! There are can’t-miss profiles of Lex Luthor, Dormammu, the Royal Flush Gang, Scorpion, Killer Frost, and Juggernaut! Plus, the debut of a new feature, “BACK to the Drawing Board,” examining misguided attempts at character creation—and our first subject is the Ten-Eyed Man! Featuring the work of Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Gerry Conway, Paul Levitz, Ron Frenz, Marv Wolfman, John Byrne, Pat Broderick, and others. With a mystical Dormammu cover by Frank Brunner. Edited by Roger Ash.
