HILLMAN’S AIRBOY COMICS BEGAN PUBLICATION IN DECEMBER OF 1945, WITH VOLUME TWO ISSUES ELEVEN, CONTINUING THE NUMBERING FROM THEIR AIR FIGHTERS TITLE. THE SERIES WAS INITIALLY HELD ALOFT WITH SUCH EXCITING CHARACTERS AS AIR BOY, VALKYRIE, SKY WOLF, THE IRON ACE, THE BALD EAGLE, THE FLYING DUTCHMAN AND THE HEAP. TO KEEP THE ADVENTUROUS AVIATORS OF AIRBOY COMICS IN THE CLOUDS HILLMAN HIRED SOME OF THE BEST ARTISIC MECHANICS WORKING AT THE TIME INCLUDING FRED KIDA, CHARLES BIRO, BOB FUJITANI, HARRY SAHLE, AL JAFFEE, JOHN CASSONE, AL CAMY AND MORT LEAV. HILLMAN HAD AN INTERSTING NUMBERING SYSTEM. AFTER THE TWELFTH ISSUE OF A TITLE WAS PUBLISHED, THE FOLLOWING ISSUE WOULD BE GIVEN A NEW VOLUME NUMBER AND THE ISSUE’S NUMBERING WOULD REVERT BACK TO NUMBER ONE FOR THE NEXT YEAR. AIRBOY COMICS STANDS THE TEST OF TIME BY HAVING THAT RARE COMBINATION OF BOTH INTRIGUING HEROES AND HEROINES AS WELL AS AN AMAZING ROSTER OF CREATIVE TALENT. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.
