Bill Black's Fun Comics

From 1982 to 1983, AC Comics’ Bill Black’s Fun Comics revived the spirit of classic golden-age adventure across two issues, with Ben Smith scripting and Mark Heike providing the art. The series gathered a colorful cast of heroes—including the Black Shroud, Captain Paragon, and Azagoth—alongside western hero Charlie Starrett and the mysterious Dr. Richard Latimer. A nostalgic, low-key showcase for vintage-style pulp heroics, it offered a brief but heartfelt tribute to the era before the direct market boom.
