In KC’s latest installment of his column series on the history of comic storytelling, he tackles the magic year of 1986, which was so important it got a column of its own. Find out more about how Event comics started with Secret Wars and Crisis on Infinite Earths and revisit such classics as Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. Plus, KC talks about the revamps of the big three, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman and the creation of X-Factor and the New Universe. And he doesn’t forget the non-superheroes, with coverage of Maus and Matt Wagner.
