Hello and welcome to the eighteenth magnetic issue of All-Amazing Comics!!! Here you'll get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness! Enjoy!
***Big Announcement!!!***
You may have noticed that Crimebuster is not in this issue as originally planned, well, that's because he will not be in All-Amazing Comics anymore! Crimebuster now headlines his own monthly book, Crimebusters!!! This book takes the place of the late All-Golden Comics on the third Friday of the month and in addition to Crimebuster, features three back-up stories from the crime/detective genre!!! Look for the first issue (with Iron Jaw!!!) to be up by the 15th!
