Popular Post sagii Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wow, can't believe these paper collectibles are that old. Interesting trend in '40 books, a lot of them were still in the 'pulp like' cover stage with subject matter (with a few 'subtly' fighting the War, though we were not officially in for another year). Superman had only been a thing for two years, and Batman only one. Captain America and Wonder Woman were still a little ways off from even making a debut! Some of my favorites from my collection from this year: Ace Periodicals published their very first comic book, Sure-Fire Comics #1! ('No Marvel Mystery 1'), but historic in the overall story of Golden Age comics and the battle of the men in tights for sales supremacy with the almighty dime, and the start of one of the better, though not lived players in the game gino2paulus2, speedcake, MrBedrock and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ace didn't let grass grow under their feet as the quickly followed SF1 with Super-Mystery Comics #1 (only their second ever publication). Starring Magno the Magnetic Man among others, this became one of their longer running titles. gino2paulus2, PopKulture, MrBedrock and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Centaur was still around, though not for long. Think they launched a few short lived self titled hero books that year. Larryw7 and gino2paulus2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
