Mighty Samson

    (Gold Key, 1964-1969, 1972-1976, 1982, 2010-2011)
©1965 Western Publishing Company, Inc.

Nuclear war has laid waste to the world. Those who were not killed immediately fell victim to the radioactive fallout. And the few survivors lived in a world that had literally been bombed into a new Stone Age. Here, technology was lost and strange, mutated plants and animals posed a constant threat to the humans that remained.

Into this world rose a hero called Samson. Like his world, he is a mix of the old and the new. He wears sunglasses and the skin of a beast, and possesses strength worthy of his biblical namesake. Along with Mindor, a scientist, and Mindor’s daughter Sharmaine, they set out to reclaim this strange new primitive world.
