About the Mighty Samson Archives Hardcover Volume 1

(W) Otto Binder (A) Frank Thorne (CA) George Wilson. In a radioactive, nuclear-ravaged future, Samson is born into a tribe of peaceful yet desperate people struggling to survive in the desolate city of N'Yark. Surrounded by hungry, wild creatures-creatively mutated and brought to life by Thorne and subsequent artists-and the more savage, selfish remnants of humanity, life is precarious at best for the tribe until Samson displays amazing powers. Discovering that young Samson is a mutant himself, his mother trains Samson to value life, and on her deathbed Samson vows 'to protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil!' o This volume reprints the first seven comic books from the original 1960s Mighty Samson series, with playful and imaginative artwork by Frank Thorne seen in the first five issues!
