Ajax the Sun Man

A creature of pure Golden Age imagination, Ajax the Sun Man burst onto the scene in 1940 through Street & Smith's Doc Savage Comics, sharing those pulp-drenched pages with some of the era's most legendary figures — Doc Savage himself, Clark Savage Jr., and the irrepressible Monk among them. With only seven catalogued appearances across a run that closed out in 1943, Ajax is a rare and tantalizing glimpse into the wild, anything-goes spirit of early comics, the kind of character that makes digging through Golden Age back issues such a thrill. For collectors with a taste for the road less traveled, Ajax the Sun Man is exactly the sort of forgotten gem worth tracking down.
