Description

Note about "Newsstand" vs "Direct" editions: some comics printed during this time period were published for sale in both the direct market (comic stores) and at newsstand locations such as grocery stores or convenience stores. In many cases, the only difference between the two versions is the presence of either a barcode or small logo where the barcode would otherwise be. Most collectors consider both versions to be of equal value. If the only difference is the presence of the logo or the barcode, we do not distinguish between newsstand or direct editions, so it is possible that the comic you receive could have a barcode even if our listing image shows a logo, or vice versa.

In cases where there is a significant difference between the newsstand and direct editions, such as one having a foil cover, different color scheme, or other clear variation, we will list the newsstand and direct editions as two separate listings and they will be clearly labeled as such, so you will be able to select which version you want.

Once upon a time, Jonathan Lord was the brightest superstar in that galaxy of stars, Hollywood. In over 100 films he portrayed every role imaginable, proving himself a master of adventure, romance and villainy. Surely no man or woman alive could dim this shining star of the silver screen. Certainly he was to be a star forever! But forever is a long time and Hollywood is a fickle town full of people with short memories, and as time claimed its toll on Jonathan Lord, his popularity waned. Until, one day, he retired to his palatial mansion above Sunset Boulevard, turning bitter while thirty years passed with nothing but memories and faded glory from his old films for companionship. And then comes the eldritch energy of the magical black bird, granting Jonathan Lord the power to reclaim his lost youth...and recreate in real life any role he ever played on film! Thus is the old actor's dream fulfilled as vitality is restored, along with all of his old film adventures of action, romance and evil! Bit this time the consequences are for real. There are no stuntmen for the dangerous parts and no one to yell "Cut!" when the going gets tough! Silverblade, starring Jonathan Lord. Yesterday he only starred in film fantasies. Today, he lives them! The 32-page tale "...The Lord of Sunset Boulevard" is written by Cary Bates, with art by Gene Colan and Klaus Janson. Plus: a bonus poster. Painted cover is by Colan and Neal McPheeters. New Format.
