T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents To DC

DC Comics in December is bringing back the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS in a new Archive series as well as the first of a line of DC Direct statues.

"I remember the exact moment I saw T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS #1 on the newsstand," says Michael Uslan, who worked with DC to initiate the archive series. "The publisher, Tower Comics, was a company I never heard of. Inside, I found phenomenal art, along with new heroes - Dynamo, NoMan and Menthor - who were exciting, captivating, and totally different in tone from the DC, Marvel, Charlton, Gold Key, and Dell comic book super-heroes I'd been reading and collecting."

Uslan also co-writes the introduction to this volume with comics historian Robert Klein.

"I know the fans are gonna love this first-class treatment," said John Carbonaro, the project's editorial consultant. "I can sense the excitement in the air."

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS ARCHIVES VOLUME 1, reprinting the first four issues of the series from 1965 and 1966, features artwork by comics luminaries including Wally Wood, Reed Crandall, Gil Kane, Joe Orlando and many others. These tales introduced Dynamo, NoMan, Menthor, and the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Squad as they battled the Warlord, the leader of a mysterious organization bent on subjugating the world.

Future volumes will continue to collect issues of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS, along with its companion titles DYNAMO and NOMAN.

The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agents' top operative, Dynamo, is the subject of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents: Dynamo Statue, the first of a series of statues from DC Direct. Sculpted by William Paquet, the hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statue stands approximately 9.125 inches tall by 7 inches wide and will be limited to a run of 1,500.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS ARCHIVES VOLUME 1 is a 256-page hardcover arriving in stores Dec. 4. The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents: Dynamo Statue also arrives in stores Dec. 4.
