CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS #6 hit the newsstands in September of 1942. It was formerly
BANNER COMICS for the first five issues and was published by Ace Magazines. The issue
contains six complete stories most of which were superhero tales. The stars of CAPTAIN
COURAGEOUS #6 are; Captain Courageous, The Sword, The Lone Warrior, Typhoon
Tyson, Air Hostess Kay McKay and Paul Revere, Jr. Most of these characters would have
additional appearances in other Ace comics, FOUR FAVORITES and SUPER-MYSTERY
COMICS. This comic is a treasure trove of obscure superheroes!
Have you ever seen or heard about a particular comic, but were disappointed knowing
that, since there was only one issue of the title, it would never be reprinted? Well, Retro
Comic Reprints One Shots are here to help! The mission of Retro Comic Reprints One
Shots is to make individual public domain comic books, whose titles didn't last long
enough to be collected as series, accessible in print again.
You are welcome to send me suggestions for public domain comics that only lasted a
single issue. The best way to have your title added to the list is to email me at
