Alan Armstrong

Born in the pages of Whiz Comics #2 in 1940 — the same landmark issue that introduced Captain Marvel himself — Alan Armstrong is a genuine Golden Age original with deep roots in Fawcett Comics' golden era of adventure. Created by Bill Parker and Pete Costanza, he's spent eight remarkable decades sharing ink with some of the most beloved characters of the era, including Spy Smasher, Billy Batson, and the mystical Ibis, making his corner of the Fawcett universe feel wonderfully rich and interconnected. With 47 catalogued appearances spread across Whiz Comics, Men of Mystery Comics, and Gwandanaland Comics, and four collector-recognized key issues to his name, Armstrong is the kind of enduring Golden Age figure that rewards the curious reader who digs a little deeper. If you love the pulpy, heroic spirit of 1940s comics, he's well worth tracking down.
