THUNDER claps

One of the comics that turned up for my birthday was the THUNDER Agents volume 2. I fell in love with the world of the The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves back in the 80's when I read one of the attempts to re-start the title and spent two decades scrounging comic stores trying to find back issues of the originals. Now DC is reprinting the whole run in hardcover. 

On one level, it takes all the fun out of the hunt, but having only secured 3 of the 19 originals I wasn't doing too hot. On another level - Yea! I get my THUNDER Agents! The book was a gem of the silver age, with all the flaws that you would expect when looking at it with modern eyes.
