About the series
Published by Harvey Comics during the Golden Age, Champ Comics ran for 15 issues from 1940 to 1943, offering a brisk anthology of costumed heroes and adventure strips. The series is best remembered for its recurring features, including the swashbuckling Duke O'Dowd and the super-speed exploits of the Human Meteor, with art by industry figures like Joe Simon. A showcase for the work of writer Toni Blum and artists Alex Blum and Al Bryant, it represents a snapshot of the wartime comic boom and the energetic, varied storytelling that filled newsstands before superheroes fully dominated the market.
