Amazing Golden Age Adventure Funnies #1 - Golden Age DAREDEVIL Preview!

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but I'm doing it anyway:

There are lots of places where you can download or go online and read Golden Age comics (like here, for example). But some people, like me, like to hold comics in their hands and read them. And there are companies that do Golden Age reprints, but they are usually in black and white. It's cool to be able to read stories you may not find elsewhere, but they were meant to be read in color.

So, utilizing the wonderful world of print-on-demand, I decided to do it myself. The first issue of my 52-page full-color AMAZING GOLDEN AGE ADVENTURE FUNNIES features characters appearing in Project: Superpowers:

• The Black Terror from America's Best Comics #14 (July 1945)
• Captain Future from Startling Comics #37 (January 1946)
• The Golden Age Daredevil from Daredevil Comics #28 (January 1945)
• Dynamic Man from Dynamic Comics #15 (July 1945)
• The Flame from Wonderworld Comics #25 (May 1941)
• Plus Yankee Boy in a 1-page text story from Yankee Comics #4 (March 1942)
• And a gallery of covers from the original comics!!

Special thanks to Ka-Blam for printing it, IndyPlanet for carrying it and Ka-Blam/IndyPlanet co-founder Barry Gregory for naming it his Pick of the Week!!

Here's a preview: the complete Daredevil story!

You can check out my (currently lame) Terrific Comics website, too! But there's nothing there that isn't here. :)

Golden-age DAREDEVIL No More!!

In this titanic tale, Daredevil's secret identity (and more!) is exposed!!

WONDER why Bart Hill would switch identities out in the open anyway!!

THRILL at the sight of Bart running around in a skimpy little towel!

BE AMAZED by Bart's now-you-see-it-now-you-don't chest hair!

HYPOTHESIZE as to why Bart thinks the nudie pics that Kilroy snaps of him are "sweet!"

Long arm of THE CLAW!

Most people who are aware of The Claw probably know him mostly as the arch-nemesis of the golden-age Daredevil. But The Claw actually preceded Daredevil by about 9 months, having first appeared in SILVER STREAK COMICS #1. Odd that a monster/villain would have his own feature, did that happen frequently in the golden age?

The Claw was never given any type of origin. Or even really a hint of where he came from or why he was here. He was just a supernatural bad guy who wrecked havoc!

So, here's the first appearance of The Claw! It's scanned from microfiche, so it's a little grainy. But you'll get over it...

And that last page! A bunch of nekkid menz fightin' the bad guys. What's not to love!!?
