Captain Smith

Debuting in 1987's FemForce: Out of the Asylum Special #1 — a landmark launch from AC Comics with creative firepower including Joe Kubert — Captain Smith is a Copper Age figure who inhabits the pulp-inflected, hero-rich universe that AC built with such evident love for the classic adventure tradition. Over a publishing span stretching into the early 2000s, this character turns up across FemForce, Men of Mystery Comics, and that debut special, sharing pages with colorful company like The Avenger, Targeteer, and Captain Wings. Rare in the catalog but rooted in a publisher with genuine passion for heroic legacy, Captain Smith is a quiet piece of AC's distinctive corner of comics history worth a second look.
