Wonder Boy

From the earliest days of the Golden Age, Wonder Boy leapt onto the scene in the landmark debut of National Comics #1 in 1940 — a key collector's issue brought to life by the legendary Will Eisner and Dave Berg for Quality Comics. Sharing those golden pages with the likes of Uncle Sam and Merlin the Magician, this young hero rubbed shoulders with some of the era's most colorful figures across National Comics, Bomber Comics, and beyond. His run was brief, stretching only into the mid-1940s, which makes his handful of appearances — including that prized first issue — genuine treasures for Golden Age enthusiasts. If you love the raw, adventurous spirit of comics' earliest chapter, Wonder Boy is a fascinating piece of that storied puzzle.
