RSA VOLUME 1

Ralph Snart first appeared in Tony Caputo's fanzine "Fangraphix". When Tony started NOW comics in 1986, Ralph Snart was one of the first comic books NOW published, beginning with this three issue mini-series dated June-August 1986. Presumably, this was a "trial" series for Marc Hansen, the Creator, writer and artist of RSA. On the inside back cover of the third issue is a full page advertisement announcing that RSA had been picked up as a new monthly series. As long as NOW could stay on it's feet and publish comics, RSA had a home.
