Fantagraphics is one of the premier publishers of independent, alternative comics and graphic novels, so it was a big surprise when they announced last year that they would be launching a shared superhero universe in the new All Time Comics series. The brainchild of brothers Josh and Sam Bayer, All Time Comics bridges generations of comics creators, featuring the work of classic superhero creators like Herb Trimpe (co-creator of Wolverine) and Al Milgrom along with contemporary Fantagraphics talent like Ben Marra and Noah Van Sciver. The series debuts in March 2017 with All Time Comics: Crime Destroyer #1, teaming Josh Bayer with Trimpe and Marra to introduce the colorful superheroes of Optical City, who join forces to stop a group of underground Satanists that want to usher in a new age of American excellence.
