Running Time: 58 min |
It all begins in your drafty, seventh floor closet-of-an-office in Manhattan - your publishing empire- built, not from novels or biographies, or the news of the day, but from comic books! A man of steel, a caped crusader, a mighty Amazon princess - these characters have stirred the imagination of America’s youth and made publishers mountains of cash.
With the right story, the right art, a head for business and a lot of moxie, you can build a fan base for a new hero and claim a spot in this ever expanding pantheon.
Age of comics is a worker placement board game set in the golden age, a period from the late 1930s to the mid 1950s. You’ll manage every aspect of your company from hiring talented creatives to marketing and sales, hoping to push your titles up the charts, earning more fans and more money along the way.
