Hello and welcome to the twenty-third, little
more than slightly, but MUCH more than the previous, belated issue of All-Amazing
Comics!!! Here you'll once again get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness!
Enjoy!
***Where the heck have I been!?!?!***
It's been a long, strange summer and fall that
boiled down to one thing. I didn't have the time I needed to produce these
books, but I'm back now, and am at various stages of development on all
of the books needed to catch me up, but we should be back to normal by
the end of the month. There are some great things lined up for these belated
issues, so don't go away, they should be coming fast and furious over the
next few weeks, don't miss any of them!
One final thing of note for this issue regarding
the Shadow. He is property of Conde Nast Publications, but I believe this
story to be in the public domain. The Shadow is not, nor will be, used
for profit on this site.
