Publication history

Shannon Appelcline commented that "the SAS line continued to grow, including the appearance of an anthology of short stories edited by James Lowder. There were eventually two: Path of the Just (2003) and Path of the Bold (2004). These books could have offered Guardians some real upside in comic shops. Besides stories by RPG luminaries like Ed Greenwood and Robin D. Laws, they also featured contributions by comic book stars like Mike Barr and John Ostrander. Path of the Bold even won an Origins Award."^[1]

Reception

Path of the Bold: An Anthology of Superhero Fiction won the 2004 Origins Award for Best Fiction Publication.^[2]
