Super Yank Comics

Super Yank Comics, published by Frew Publications from 1948 to 1952, ran for 19 issues and brought a distinctly Australian flavor to the postwar comic scene. The series is best remembered for its flagship hero, the Flying Fortress, a costumed crimefighter whose adventures were crafted by local talent like writer/artist John Dixon. While not as widely known as its American counterparts, the series stands as a key artifact of Australia’s mid-century comic industry, showcasing the creativity and regional identity of the country’s homegrown publishers.
