Black Phoenix is, at its core, a contemporary comics magazine featuring original characters and stories of various comics genres--all dreamed up by its sole author, Rich Tommaso.
Don't be fooled by the pseudonyms inside-he changes names as often as drawing styles. But, the magazine is also like a walk through comics history itself.
Each volume of these golden age, pulp styled digest anthologies is headed up by a long-form comics adventure which is backed up by a bunch of short-form comics-all in the same genre or flavor.
