Welcome to the second issue of Pure Excitement Comics, your source for original Golden Age comic book reprints on the Web!

Thanks to everyone who made the first issue such a success (I have no idea what I mean by that, but that's what publishers always put in the second issue!).
If this is your first time here, welcome aboard! This site is based on my Golden Age comic book collecting philosophy -- there's nothing more important than the enjoyment you get from reading the stories!
I started this web 'zine because I know how hard it is for Golden Age fans to find affordable reading material. My inspiration was Golden Age Men of Mystery and the other fine books published by Bill Black at AC Comics.
I will be presenting several authentic Golden Age stories in each "issue" of Pure Excitement Comics. The stories I plan to showcase are from defunct publishers and believed to be in the public domain.* You will not be seeing stories published or owned by DC, Marvel or Archie Comics (MLJ), who maintain active ownership over their stables of characters. Also, Bill Black does a good job with several of my favorite characters, including the Fighting Yank and the Black Terror, so I will make an effort to stay away from reprinting certain stories featuring them.
I plan to stick mainly to costumed heroes, but I will include other stories which I have enjoyed, such as the "Whiz Wilson" feature this month. Additional features this month include The Target and the Targeteers and The Face. The contents for future issues are not set in stone, as I keep finding more and more wonderful material to reprint. Next month, we have a special two-part team up between Hydroman and Rainbow Boy from Heroic Comics...I bet you can't wait!
Also, I have made an effort to keep the images on this site as small (in terms of file size) as possible, yet retain their readablity. My goal is to keep the image for each page at 100K or less. I apologize if the individual pages are slow to load -- but they are worth the wait!
If you missed the first issue, don't worry. I will eventually (next month?) have a mirror site featuring a rotating selection of stories from back issues! Now, on with issue no. 2...click on the links in the column to the left to get started.
