It was one of the early Golden Age titles, debuting in late 1939, and featured some iconic and classic characters such as Samson, Flip Falcon, Yank Wilson, The Banshee, The Gladiator, Space Smith, “Sub” Saunders, and Stardust The Super Wizard! Samson ruled the covers and the feature story, but this was an anthology comics with many true stars. From the beginning it showcased the early works of Alex Blum, Fletcher Hanks, Henry Kiefer, Don Rico, and some amazing cover work by Lou Fine. The run of FANTASTIC COMICS was short, but its impact resonates through three generations – and for the first time ever in print, Midcentury Comics is proud to offer every story, every classic comic panel, every issue! This book contains all the comic stories from issues #5-8. THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY MORE) IS ONLY DUE TO THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF JAY CURTIS
