  • SEMI-MINOR SUPER-HEROS: FIGHTER PILOT EDITION

    Conundrum: Golden Age fighter pilot characters are essentially a very minor subset of super-heroes, and they are also very boring to me. I  feel a compulsion to write something about them and also to slump sideways in my seat when contemplating their existence.

    Solution: since the only really interesting thing about them is their cool names, I will list those.

    the Flying Flame (Daring Mystery Comics 006, 1940)

    the Flying Fox (More Fun Comics 037, 1938)

    the Hell Diver (Hit Comics 014, 1941)

    the Scarlet Ace (Amazing-Man Comics 013, 1940)

    the Sky Devils (Daring Mystery Comics 002, 1940)

    the Spitfire (Crack Comics 015, 1941)

    the War Bird (Slam-Bang Comics 003, 1940)
