REAL FACT COMICS # 1 - 21

Real Fact Comics was an educational American comic book series published by early iterations of DC Comics, including World's Best Comics, Inc., Detective Comics, Inc., and National Comics Publications. It ran for 21 issues from March/April 1946 to July/August 1949 and aimed to present educational content about historical figures and scientific topics, alongside some science fiction stories. Notably, it introduced the character Tommy Tomorrow and featured early work by famous creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. One particular issue (#5) included a story about the "true" origins of Batman, crediting Bob Kane, which has been noted for its loose relationship with historical accuracy. The series struggled with poor sales despite its educational intent and was a part of the post-war push for less lurid comic content. It also hosted the earliest known published work of science fiction writer Harlan Ellison. The comic represented DC's only entry into the educational comic genre at the time, which was spawned partly as a response to criticism against comics in the 1940s.

 

ITEM # 0111A JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY VOL. 1 # 1 - 125 + 503 - 655

Several grave robbers steal bundles of pink flowers from fresh graves all over town. They meet up with their boss who is a florist. He pays them for the stolen flowers and restocks them into his shop.

Then, in the middle of the night, a customer comes in to buy some flowers. He asks to buy the very flowers that were just stolen. The florist escorts the man out with the flowers and then realizes he forgot to ask for payment. He runs outside to get the money and the man who bought the flowers is nowhere to be seen. He runs down the street and spots the man ducking into an alley. Turning the corner, he screams and falls down dead. In the alley, the man who "bought" the flowers is apparently one of the corpses whose grave was robbed and he is passing the flowers out to other corpses whose graves were robbed.

ITEM # 0016A AMAZING MAN - COLLECTION OF 23 COMICS

Creation and Concept: Amazing-Man was created by Bill Everett, the same artist who would later co-create Namor the Sub-Mariner for Marvel. The character first appeared in Amazing-Man Comics #5 (September 1939) — the earlier issues were anthologies before he debuted. The series was part of the superhero boom that followed the success of Superman, with Amazing-Man being one of the more notable (and now public domain) heroes from that era.

Character Origins: Amazing-Man’s real name is John Aman. Orphaned and raised in Tibet by a secret order called the “Council of Seven,” he was trained to the peak of human potential and given superhuman abilities, including strength, speed, invulnerability, and the power to transform into a green mist. After his training, he returned to the outside world to fight injustice, often battling spies, criminals, and supernatural threats.

Notable Traits of the Covers You Posted:
• Action-heavy scenes — The covers from September, November, and December issues shown here feature him wrestling sea monsters, fighting soldiers, and engaging in daring rescues.
• Golden Age style — Bright primary colors, bold typography, and exaggerated perspective.
• The recurring face of Amazing-Man at the top of each cover became a sort of branding for the series.

Legacy: After Centaur Publications went out of business, Amazing-Man fell into the public domain, which has allowed various publishers (including Marvel, DC, and independent companies) to reinterpret or homage the character over the decades.

ITEM # 0003A ATOMIC MOUSE - COLLECTION OF 50 COMICS

Created by writer-artist Al Fago, the funny-animal superhero Atomic Mouse debuted in Charlton Comics' Atomic Mouse #1 (cover-dated March 1953). The series ran 52 issues through cover-date February 1963, with the Grand Comics Database noting, "Overstreet has listed #53-54, but there is no evidence they actually exist." From 1961 to 1962, Charlton published an additional five issues, vol. 2, #11-16, containing reprinted material and used as promotional giveaways. Another reprint issue, Atomic Mouse vol. 3, #1 (Dec. 1984) followed, as did a three-issue fourth volume (#10-12, Sept. 1985 – January 1986). Writer Mike Curtis and penciler Charles Ettinger revamped the character in Shanda Fantasy Arts' SFA's Atomic Mouse, which ran for three issues published from 2001 to 2004. The same publisher issues the one-shot publication SFA's Atomic Mouse vs. Power Jack in 2009. Fago went on to create Atomic Rabbit (a.k.a. Atomic Bunny) and Atom the Cat.

ITEM # Comedy Comics # 9 – 34 ( 25 COMICS # 16 IS MISSING)

Comedy Comics was an anthology published during the 1940's, beginning with #9 (the first eight issues were published in the superhero title Daring Mystery Comics), by its sixth issue the comic began to feature Super Rabbit (who starred in several 1940's Timely Comics). As World War II was going on at the time, he would of course occasionally defeat Nazis although he would also stop regular criminals. After holding onto the title for twenty issues (and four years), with #34, Margie became the feature and with #35 the series changed its name to reflect this, becoming Margie Comics.
