A-1 Comics

A-1 Comics

"A-1 Comics" is a Golden Age comics publication that began in 1944 and ended in 1955. It was used by owner Vincent Sullivan's Magazine Enterprises to try out a number of potential characters and titles, as well as reprinting newspaper strips such as Texas Slim, Kerry Drake and Teena. Several original "A-1" titles succeeded and were given their own titles, including "Tim Holt" and "The Ghost Rider". Issues were devoted to "Thun'da", "Cave Girl", and "Strongman". Title that didn't do well included "Dick Powell Adventurer", "Fibber McGee and Molly", and "Jimmy Durante Comics". The final issue was devoted to Bob Powell's "Strongman".
