Alter Ego (TwoMorrows)

    (TwoMorrows, 2002-Present)
™ and © TwoMorrows

It bills itself as a “fanzine” but Alter Ego really is a written history of the Golden and Silver Ages of comics. Edited by comics professional Roy Thomas, with a name taken from a fanzine he published before he entered comics, Alter Ego features interviews and columns that provide useful information about Comicdom's past.
