(H/B) TOPS
From their inception in 1935, comic books -starring Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel- had been primarily written for and aimed at adolescents. There were always the occasional outlier artists who pushed back against the commercial constraints of comic books and envisioned the next evolutionary artistic leap in the artform, and Charles Biro was one of those artists.
