T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents Archives, Vol. 6 (Archive Editions (Graphic Novels))
A byproduct of the sixties' love of superheroes, sci-fi, and acronymed spy organizations, the agents of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. (The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves) were a short-lived creation of Wally Wood at a small publisher called Tower Comics.  Probably best known for his work at EC Comics or on the early Daredevil, Wood wrote and drew stories for T.H.U.N.D.E.R and also enlisted the help of some of the more popular talents of the day, including Steve Ditko, Gil Kane, George Tuska, and Chic Stone.  The sixth volume of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents Archives series reprints the final six issues (15-20) of the series, most of which piled four or five individual stories into each whopping 40- to 50-page issue (no wonder they cost a quarter!).  The stories mostly centered on a single agent--Dynamo with his strength-enhancing Thunderbelt; the ghostly NoMan, who wears an invisibility cloak and when in peril can instantly transfer his mind to another android body; Lightning, the swift agent whose superspeed shortens his life--though occasionally featuring a combination of heroes or some of the non-superpowered agents in the T.H.U.N.D.E.R force. Villains included the members of S.P.I.D.E.R. (Secret People's International Directorate for Extralegal Revenue), the dimension-shifting Warp Wizard, or enemies from Red China (this was during the cold war, but the Soviet Union was not supposed to be painted as bad guys since they were member of the United Nations).  While the stories are on the short side and ultimately slight, they're still a fun time capsule of the comics scene in the '60s.  The T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents were briefly revived in the '80s and '90s.--David Horiuchi
