Allan Turner

Debuting in the pages of Big Shot Comics #4 in 1940, Allan Turner is a genuine Golden Age original, brought to life by creators Paul Dean and Ogden Whitney at the very dawn of the superhero era. It's a testament to the character's enduring appeal that his story stretches across an remarkable 84 years of comics history, from those early wartime pages all the way to 2024 under the AC Comics banner — a publisher with a well-known love for preserving and celebrating vintage heroes. Along the way, Allan has shared adventures with some wonderfully evocative Golden Age figures, including the Green Lama and Skyman, and turned up in titles as varied as FemForce and Vampirella versus Red Sonja. For collectors with a soft spot for the deep roots of the medium and the characters who quietly endure across generations, Allan Turner is exactly the kind of hidden gem worth tracking down.
