We talked to the co-creator of All Time Comics about his new superhero universe.
All Time Comicsis maybe the most unexpected comic in the game right now.
Its very existence is a contradiction, and contradictions reverberate through the project.
These are contradictions that Josh Bayer, in an exclusive interview withDen of Geek, owned.
All Time Comicsis…a square with round edges, he told us.
Think of these as the weird superhero comics from 1979 that you never read.

The project evolved organically, says Bayer.
I think a perfect comic isDaredevil219 by Frank Miller, John Buscema, and the great inker Gary Talaoc.
The bandaged crime fighter is the street-level hero of theATCuniverse.
Atlas is the character with the most traditional superhero trappings.
He was granted super strength, flight, and Ultra Matter Vision, but fear can cripple his powers.
Atlas is the most super powered character.
He can fly and lift mountains and has special Ultra Matter Vision.
He was transformed into Atlas, and his powers are dependent on him not becoming afraid.
Stem DeFrieze is Crime Destroyer, a riff on classic 70s anti-heroes.
My brother loves the filmRolling Thunder, and my favorite 70s post-war revenge film isJohnny Thundercloud, said Bayer.
Readers will note from the attached graphic that this description significantly undersells the banananess of his costume.
Bullwhip is the lone woman hero in the lineup, and the biggest surprise to Bayer to write.
