Halloween Horror AIR FIGHTERS COMICS "Meets Misery!" Conclusion

Ten-Hut!
When we last saw World War II's popular teen aviator hero...

...A shadowy figure calling himself "Misery" threatens to shoot down any British aircraft he encounters...and does so with frightening efficiency!
AirBoy responds to the challenge, but is knocked unconscious by Misery's otherworldly "Air Tomb" which zaps him with an electric charge...

Misery did, indeed, return...several times...in both AirBoy's Golden Age and Bronze Age adventures!
Note: the Bronze Age (1980s) series from Eclipse featured the son of the original AirBoy, but the original (Golden Age) versions of the Heap, Sky Wolf, and Valkyrie, with whom, like his father, he became...intimate!

Halloween Horror AIR FIGHTERS COMICS "Meets Misery!" Part 1

Ten-Hut!
Aviators have been staples of heroic fiction for a century...

...and both pulps and comics had dozens of them!
This is a tale about one of the most popular ones (in both the 1940s and 1980s)!

To Be Concluded...
TOMORROW!
This never-reprinted story from Hillman's Air Fighters Comics V1N12 (1943) is the first appearance of Misery, one of teen aviator Airboy's ongoing supernatural foes (he had several)!

Apparently Airboy co-creators, writer Harry Stein and artist Fred Kida liked using mystic characters as a counterpoint to the science-based kid flyer!

Among the other foes (and friends) were Zzed, the Rat King, and The Heap!

Until tomorrow...

CoronaVirus Comics FROGMAN COMICS "Gulf Stream Riddle"

Ten-HUTT!

Enemies of America love to use biological weapons...

...as this never-reprinted Cold War tale from Hillman's Frogman Comics #4 (1952) attests!

The enemy is never clearly-defined in this never-reprinted story from Hillman's Frogman Comics #4 (1952), written by Kim Aamodt and illustrated by Lorence Bjorklund.

Obviously not Asian (Chinese or North Korean), but not identified as Russkies, either.

And "Karslack" is just generic "foreign"!

"Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg"

Ten-HUT

It's the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg....

...so this week we're going to present two never-reprinted stories about the battle.

You'll note the ambivalence about which side was "in the right" in this tale from Hillman's AirBoy Comics V5N12 (1949).

Both the writer and artist are unknown.

Be back here on July 4th for another tale time-lost of Gettysburg.

Dis-missed!
