American Update: Flashbacks
*Modern Reprints: We’re nostalgically delighted to have 13 of the Alan light ‘Flashback’ reprints from the 1970’s available. Fondly remembered by fans of a certain vintage, each of these is a facsimile of a Golden Age comic, complete with editorial and advertising matter. Reprinting early works from DC, Timely/Marvel, MLJ/Archie, Fawcett, Quality and other publishers, these were the first concerted attempt at archival reprinting of Golden Age material, long before the age of Archives, Masterworks, and interweb streaming thingies. (Kids today, you don’t know you’re born. When I was your age…) Erm, anyway. Re-presenting a plethora of goodies, highlights include first issues of Pep, Human Torch, Military, Sub-Mariner, early issues of All-Star, Captain Marvel Adventures and All-Star Comics, and the dazzling debuts of such immortal characters as the Shield, the Comet, Blackhawk, and, erm, the Red Bee and Michael. This selection ranges from issue #5 (Military Comics #1) to #37 (Captain Midnight #1), and averages Fine+ grade.
