The Dynamite Pre-vinterview: Frank Barbiere on Solar: Man of the Atom
There's been a lot of buzz about writer Frank (Five Ghosts) Barbiere of late. As in literally. I keep hearing "Frank Barbiere this" and "Frank Barbiere that." All good. Likewise, Dynamite's Gold Key revival has been a surprise hit thus far, with some sturdy characters getting a fresh update. So Barbiere's take on Solar: Man of the Atom along with artist Joe Bennett definitely qualifies as a buzz book.
The first issue of the book is out today, and Dynamite provided this preview and interview with Barbiere.
