most underrated golden age publisher?

[FlComicFan]

Which publisher from the Golden Age is the most underrated (undervalued)? My votes for MLJ's which have some killer covers featuring women in bondage, monstrous looking Nazk villains, all kinds of torture and some pretty cool heroes including the likes of Hangman, the Shield plus early Archie! I have been working on them for the last few years and they are much tougher to locate than Timely's or DC's

My vote goes to Centaur and it's forunner - Comics Magazine Co.

 

Centaur introduces the 1st Comic Book superhero - The Clock,

and the 3rd - The Arrow.

Most have incredible covers and art from Burgos, Everett, Biro, Eisner, early Kane art and more

 

Comics Magazine #1 has the first appearance of Dr.Mystic/Occult the Siegel/Shuster Superman prototype.

 

You owe it to yourself to check out some of these amazing books.

The Arrow was always my favorite and his covers in Funny Pages are just very cool.

I agree w/ you. I've always thought that Centaur was an underrated publisher. Masked Marvel, Amazing Man & Man of war are three of my favorite Centaur titles.

I collect Centaur as well but while the interiors by the all the Timely greats are very nicely done for the time period I find there covers a little slow for my lurid tastes. Fox books are great especially all the Lou Fine covers and the later issues of Mystery Men which have some great covers. I kind of dig esoteric Gold from almost any publisher as long as the cover is cool.

 

Centaurs do seem to be either overpriced or there is not a lot of interest as I see them at guide or discounted with exception of maybe Amazing Man 5 or is this just a my wrong perception of them?

Over time I will accumulate a full run of Dagar.

 

Don't forget All Great #13....

Most underrated golden age publisher: Empire Comics.

Centaur are underrated b/c they are so old & hard to find. Many golden age Fawcett's underpriced with Mac Raboy WW II or classic covers.
