Radioactive Man (1993) #88 (Australian Price)

Cover pencils by Matt Groening and Steve Vance, inks by Bill Morrison.

What th–?! Only the second issue, and it’s already on #88! Bongo has fast-forwarded 10 years from Radioactive Man’s first issue to bring this artifact from the early 1960’s, the beginnings of the Bongo Age of Comics! You’ll relive the startling origin of Radioactive Man’s sidekick Fallout Boy! Learn how he acquired his somewhat awesome powers (in a strangely familiar science demonstration)! See how he conveniently became the ward of the mighty Radioactive Man! Plus: witness the historic first battle between Radioactive Man and Lava Man, the molten menace from Earth’s core — as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance!

In this issue’s Bongo Beat article, Steve Vance pays tribute to The King of Comics, Jack Kirby, after his passing.
