Indexer Notes
Fictional "history" of the BIG BANG COMICS universe; tribute to Jim Steranko's HISTORY OF COMICS books. The second volume of this was published in issue #27. Even though this consists of several mini-articles, the pages are numbered straight through, and the art is credited by page, so it has been indexed as one sequence. The art is spot illustrations throughout the article, many as fake covers. The section on Dr. Weird is not fiction, but true (other than it really took place between 1963 and 1972 instead of during the Golden Age).
