About the series

A post-war anthology from Eastern Color, New Heroic Comics ran for 59 issues between 1946 and 1955, showcasing a rotating cast of original costumed heroes and adventure tales. The series is most notable for its early art by a young Frank Frazetta and Alex Toth, whose dynamic, noir-tinged pages gave the title a visual punch that outshone its modest premise. While never a top seller, it remains a fascinating snapshot of the industry’s shift from superheroes to crime and war stories, with Frazetta’s bold covers and Toth’s crisp storytelling hinting at the legendary careers to come.
