Chaykin brought the classic pulp hero into the 1980s with a violent, cynical reinvention that made it clear this would not be a nostalgic revival.Our Underrated Books of the Week include:DANGER GIRL #2 Ruby Red Foil Edition, one of the rarest J. Scott Campbell variants of the 1990s, with only 400 copies produced and high-grade examples valued in the thousands.THE AVENGERS #273, the opening chapter of the classic “Under Siege” storyline by Roger Stern, John Buscema, and Tom Palmer.
