Mask Comics

Mask Comics, a two-issue series from Rural Home Publications in 1945, offered a brief but vivid glimpse into the post-war comic book landscape. Anchored by the striking cover art of L. B. Cole and Maurice Del Bourgo, with scripts by Bill Woolfolk, this title is a compact artifact of its era, showcasing the bold, often experimental storytelling of mid-1940s anthology comics. Its significance lies in its representation of the small-press publishers that thrived alongside the industry giants, preserved today as a snapshot of a transitional moment in the medium's history.
