| Hello and welcome to the twelfth super-sized issue
of All-Amazing Comics!!! Here you'll get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness!
*Important Announcement #1*
My second
CD is now ready! It focuses on 3 major heroes of the Golden Age, Black
Terror, Daredevil, and Doll Man. See my ad in this issue and my CD Page
for details!
*Important Announcement #2*
This
announcement is, once again, not a happy one. I said in All-Golden #9,
that #10 would be that title's last. Due to time however, #9 was the last.
The contents of #10 will become All-Amazing #13.
Up first this month, is returning favorite, and one
of my 2nd Cd's stars, Black Terror! No intro needed here!!!
Up next is star of comics and screen, Spy Smasher! This
time he takes on the menace of the Red Death!!!
After that is one of the most mysterious heroes this
site has featured, the Green Turtle! His face was only seen once, on the
cover of Blazing Comics #2. Why the mystery? His true identity was never
revealed! It is thought that the artist Chu Hing was trying to create a
Chinese hero, but Rural Home didn't feel it would sell. To compromise,
Mr. Hing simply hid the hero's face from view!!!
Next up is another returning favorite, Fighting Yank!
Not only is he returning, but he brings along the famous art team of Robinson
and Meskin!!!
Coming up after that is Whiz Comics great, Golden Arrow!
Look out for this guy! I'm sure he'll pop up again!!!
After Golden Arrow, we have some more stars of my 2nd
CD, the Little Wise Guys! Don't let the lack of Daredevil fool you, this
story is a knockout!!!
Remember Supersnipe from King-Sized #1? Well, he's back!
Sort of. Actually you'll get to read his diary, and as he said on the cover,
it's swell! 'Promise!!!
The good times just don't seem to end this issue do
they? Well, up next is one of the classics, Torchy! This is one of the
most original strips I've read and I'm sure it'll pop up again!!!
All good things must end, and this issue is no exception.
At least we do it with a bang, or should I say a hop? Hopalong Cassidy
rides into town bringing a mess of action with him!!!
Enjoy!

Why this issue was late.
I said in All-Golden #9 that I'd tell you
why these two issues are late (and now why there isn't going to be an All-Golden
#10). On July 19 my grandmother, Louise, had a bad stroke. For the next
two days she seemed to be doing fairly well. She would respond to you by
moving (everything but her left arm), and wanted me to hold her hand the
whole time. (She would feel around for it every time I had to take it away.)
Then, on July 22, she took a turn for the worse. The brain swelling was
too bad and she died later that night.
Louise was like a mother to me. She retired
when I was eight months old to take care of me, and I was over at her and
my grandfather's house almost everyday since. Since then, I have moved
in to take care of my grandfather.
Louise was always proud of me and what
I did with this site and my CDs. This issue, and my second CD, are dedicated
to her memory.
*The picture above is of the two of us
in May of '88. Suprisingly, she looked the same when she died. |
