The Tower Archive Online includes the very first edition of The Tower dated October 27, 1922 through the edition dated May 6, 2003.  The Tower Archive Online is available to anyone, from anywhere, and is keyword searchable.

As we now have a CUA specific version of Discovery, we can make modifications that will best suit our students and faculty. Discovery is still in beta, and we will continue to tweak and make changes throughout the semester. Please send us your thoughts and comments to help us improve Discovery.

By the early 1960s, the Treasure Chest was at the height of its popularity. In 1964, Joe Sinnott, the illustrator of Marvel Comics’ “The Fantastic Four”, teamed up with writer Berry Reece to produce a story depicting a U.S. presidential election. It was set in the future: the presidential election was supposedly that of 1976, the year of the nation’s bicentennial. “Pettigrew for President” lasted for ten issues, following the campaign trail of the fictional Tim Pettigrew from the announcement of his candidacy through the national convention of his party. The candidate’s face was carefully hidden in every panel, until the final page of the final issue of the story, when Pettigrew is finally revealed: the first black candidate for president of the United States!

This site presents the full Pettigrew series in its entirety for the first time. It also features biographical material on the series’ author and illustrator, a question and answer interview with Berry Reece, and background information contextualizing the series.
