TOP-NOTCH COMICS was first published by MLJ in December of 1939. Like so many of the great MLJ
titles, TOP-NOTCH COMICS began as an action and adventure anthology series, utilizing the talents of
some of the Golden Age's best artists. There are superhero thrills with the WIZARD- artwork by Edd
Ashe; BOB PHANTOM highlighted by the art of Irv Novick and KARDAK the MAGICIAN with art by Chuck
Winter. There is science fiction action featuring the time traveling SCOTT RAND, presenting Jack Binder
art. Charles Biro provides the artwork for the crime fighting SWIFT OF THE SECRET SERVICE. WINGS
JOHNSON, an American transport pilot who enlists in the Royal Air Force when England declares war on
Germany, has stunning artwork by Irv Novick. Mort Meskin does the art chores for the stories of
adventurer DICK STORM. The great Jack Cole offers up the crime thriller MANHUNTERS as well as various
one-page humor strips.
There is so much amazing talent in this series it is truly TOP-NOTCH.
