Christopher Avenue CollectionAll Star is one of the most-important titles in the annals of comic book history. The cover of this issue features three of the most-popular DC Golden Age characters: The Spectre, Green Lantern, and The Flash, by Martin Nodell, Shelly Moldoff, and Bernard Baily. Notice the swiped position of Green Lantern as it is awfully similar to how he was drawn on the cover of All American #16.
Artist Information
Moldoff is best known for his early work on DC's Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and was one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" on Batman. He co-created the Batman villains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the second Clayface, and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman, and Ace the Bat-Hound.
