The Target

Stepping out of the pages of Jim Steranko's landmark 1972 history of comics — itself a Bronze Age treasure — The Target carries the weight of comics heritage right from their very first appearance, brought to life by the legendary C. C. Beck. Published under AC Comics, this character shares adventures with a fascinating roster including the Green Lama and Jethro Dumont, placing them in colorful, pulp-flavored company. The Target's longest home proved to be AC's FemForce universe, that spirited celebration of golden-era heroics that kept vintage-style adventure alive well into the early '90s. With a publishing span stretching nearly two decades and a debut in one of the most collectible comics reference works ever produced, The Target is a genuine curiosity for any fan who loves digging into the deeper, richer corners of comics history.
