About the series
From 1940 to 1948, Pines Publishing’s Startling Comics delivered 53 issues of pulp-infused superhero and adventure stories, featuring a rotating cast of characters like the patriotic Fighting Yank, the flame-wreathed Pyroman, and the time-traveling Captain Future. The series was a collaborative effort, with writers Joseph Greene, Richard Hughes, and editor Vin Sullivan shaping its direction, while artists Ken Battefield, Jack Binder, and Kin Platt brought the action to life. Though it never reached the heights of the Big Two, Startling Comics stands as a lively snapshot of the Golden Age’s wild creativity, showcasing the era’s fascination with costumed heroes and sci-fi thrills.
