Hello and welcome to the thirty-second targeted issue of All-Amazing Comics!!! Here you'll get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness! Enjoy!
Cover by: Joe Simon from the cover of Target Comics vol.1 no.10. Recoloring by me.

***Announcements***

First off, last issue I posted only half of the Espionage story by mistake. It's 9 pages instead of 5. The problem has since been fixed.

This issue marks the start of the Target's regular run in this title, begining with his two part origin story!!!  In the first few months after, I'll be providing a framework of Target stories to show how the series progressed, and then random stories from there on out.

Also, next issue voting begins for this year's Reader's Choice Issue, All-Amazing Comics #34, so don't miss it!!!
