A collection of forgotten and discovered great heroes in the public domain. Heroes Lost and Found spotlights heroes that are surprisingly in the public domain as well as featuring on the Women of the Golden Age of comics including some of the most obscure characters when comic books were just a dime!" ~IndyPlanet

Heroes Lost & Found is Jay Piscopo's first venture with
IndyPlanet. Check this new pin-up book out at this link. This book contains pin-ups of public domain characters and is Jay's way of paying homage to the great characters and creators from the Golden Age of comics who were influences on The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli graphic novel series.
