They are three of the most iconic characters of the early Golden Age, and from the FALL 1940 to JANUARY 1942 they starred together in one of the first focused-anthology comics in history. BLUE BEETLE, SAMSON, and THE FLAME each had his own title as well, but the combining of their popularity into one masterful book made Big-3 one of the top anthologies of its day. BLUE BEETLE debuted in Mystery Men to begin his three-generation run in the comics, but his Big-3 stories are cited as among the best. Samson (and David) had a modest comic run, but has been limited in the design of countless mythologized heroes. The Flame! While there has never been a shortage of fire-based superheroes, THE FLAME was both one of the first and most original pyro-characters. Individually they are forces to be reckoned with – together in one book they are undoubtedly the BIG-3! Drawn by early-Golden Age pioneers, this is comic history, and the first complete collection in print, ever!
