Summary:

"Never completed and left for dead thirty years ago, comics history's most famous derelict masterpiece -- Image Comics' legendary 1963 by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, and Rick Veitch -- is finally given the unceremonious, irreverent, and completely unauthorized 72-page King-Size Annual climax everyone was promised but no one ever asked for! Avatars of the Little Comics Group That Could return in satirical form -- as avatars of avatars -- by the master of superhero parody, Don Simpson (creator of Megaton Man and Splitting Image and original letterer, inker, and logo designer of 1963). They're all here: Cyclobster, Black Bug, Psychic Psquid, Dr. UG, Helldiver, Limber Lass, Moonrock, and more -- and if you don't recognize the names, you'll dig the thinly-disguised archetypes! With cameos by the Big Bang Universe, refugees from In Pictopia, and even Megaton Man and friends! Written, drawn and hand-lettered in an authentic Old School manner, X-Amount is just enough to satisfy! A comic for the ages that may finish off the Silver Age once and for all! For sophisticated readers"-- Provided by publisher.
