Synopsis: This issue
boasts TWO BLACK TERROR tales- "The Thieving Leprechauns", and "Trouble
Down Mexico Way"; The HOOD in "The Man Who Sold His Soul To The Devil"-
drawn by Bob Fujitani; FLASH LIGHTNING and The RAVEN, out of Ace Comic's
rare Sure-Fire #3, from 1940; plus MAJOR MIDNIGHT, by Leonard Franks.
Special Notes: Men of
Mystery has a particularly pulpish flavor this issue, with much of the
material taken from the comic-book divisions of a couple of the biggest
pulp magazine publishers of the medium's heyday. The BLACK TERROR was
the biggest star produced by Nedor Comics, which was the offshoot of Ned
Pines successful & long-lived Standard/Better line of pulps, While
Sure-Fire stars FLASH (later changed to "Lash" ) LIGHTNING and The RAVEN
were the progeny of L.L. Wynn's Ace Publications comic book branch. And
even though the original publisher of this issues' HOOD story ( Holyoke
Pubs. put out Cat-Man comics- this story from issue #26 ) wasn't itself
involved in pulp production, the eerie, atmospheric artwork of Bob
Fugitani on it would have been at home in the weirdest of the weird
pulps of the day.

Special Notes: Golden
Age superheroes are "hot " these days- it seems whatever publisher isn't
REVIVING them is reprinting the actual stories. Well, the people who did
both FIRST, still do it BEST- and that's AC Comics. After 18 years of
reprinting these greats of sequential storytelling, we have quite a
library of stellar 1940's material, reprinted using our state-of-the-art
technology, and this package is an excellent collection of re-edited
stories from past efforts; sampled from NINE different now-defunct
1940's publishing houses. The stories in this collection are excellent,
representative tales of top-selling star features of their day, like
BLACK TERROR, SHOCK GIBSON, The TARGET, BULLETMAN and The EAGLE. True
historians and casual readers alike will treasure this collection.
