The September PREVIEWS Features:

As Seen on TV: Back in the '50s and '60s, comic books based on popular TV shows were all the rage. The Rifleman, The Munsters, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, My Favorite Martian, The Monkees, Gunsmoke… literally every genre imaginable! Today, we're smack-dab in the midst of new Golden Age of must-see television series. And it's no surprise at all that some of today’s top TV series (as well as some classic TV series from years past) are making their way to comics, and our As Seen on TV month hopes to bring them to your attention, no DVR required!
