About the series
Published by AC Comics from 1983 to 1984, Americomics was a six-issue anthology series that spotlighted a rotating cast of heroes, including Roger Brant, The Shade, Blue Beetle Ted Kord, Dr. Yuri Gargovich, and Captain Freedom. Primarily written and drawn by Rik Levins, Bill Black, and Neal Stannard, the title served as a showcase for classic and newly revived Golden Age-style characters during the early independent comics boom. Its importance lies in helping to preserve and reintroduce these lesser-known heroes to a 1980s audience, bridging the gap between old-school adventure and the emerging direct market.
