BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
 Ben Dunn, you are my new hero. The headline should read "Independent publisher gets it!" Finally, someone is producing an anthology book with a definite Golden Age flavor to it. Add in for a bonus, the fact that the title itself was an honest Golden Age title that began in 1940 and ran for 69 issues. Featuring such heroes as the Black Terror and the Liberator, the title survived 9 years only to be reborn here. The three features here all seem to share a style where its almost hard to tell what time period it is taking place. And heroes Blackjaq, the Crimson Scorpion, and Madam Mask all show promise of becoming on-going features. Really, as a purist I should point out that its a shame that the title couldn't continue renumbering from the original series but I do understand that it has been 70 years. An excellent concept filled with interesting and entertaining stories. Well done Antarctic Press, well done! I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
