Star Studded Comics

Star Studded Comics

"Star Studded Comics" is the name of three comics-related publications, including a comic from the Golden Age of Comics, a comics fanzine and a modern comic homage to the previous.

The first publication to use the name was published in 1945 by Cambridge House Publishers, and featured Captain Combat, Comandette, Red Rogue, Ghost Woman (the inspiration for the later Dark Horse Comics character, The Ghost Fact|date=March 2007), and several other characters.

In 1946, a comic of the same name was published in Canada by Superior Publishers Limited. Whether this was a reprint of Cambridge House's or not is uncertain. [ [http://www.comics.org/series.lasso?SeriesID=12722 GCD :: Series ] ]

Big Bang Comics title

The third Star Studded Comics is among the metafictional comics that tell the stories of the Big Bang Universe characters. As they featured Dr. Weird, however, this fictitious title is a clear homage to the 1960s fanzine rather than an independent metafictional title.
