the greatest comics of all time, because issue after issue presents some of the best characters of the
Golden Age: The Shield, The Comet, Bentley of Scotland Yard, Sergeant Boyle, and boxer Kayo Ward
Plus more superhero adventures with the Press Guardian and science Fiction action with Rocket and
the Queen of Diamonds. The talent in this series is amazing. Script by Manly Wade Wellman, Abner
Sundell and Harry Shorten with artwork by Irv Novick, Jack Cole, Mort Meskin, Lin Streeter and
Charles Biro. PEP COMICS is One of the true anthology classics.
NOTE: PEP COMICS is a collection of all the Golden Age/Public Domain issues – the series continued for
decades, and we're offering the first 71 issues.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these
comics are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as
enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of
the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.
