GRIM REAPER ARCHIVE (Full Color)
Coming soon from Standard Comics.

The Grim Reaper was one of the multitude of costumed super-heroes who debuted during the "Golden Age of Comics". This archive collects all of his known appearances, with the exception of Wonder Comics #5 (someday ...)

Created by writer/editor Richard E. Hughes, he first appeared in Fighting Yank #7 (Feb. 1942). He was the cover feature on Wonder Comics #1-8, origin story in #2, and appeared in his own feature until #17 (1948). Aside from a single appearance in the one-shot America's Biggest Comics Book, that was it -- 19 appearances in total over a six year span.

When I began commissioning artwork, the first piece I had done was the Grim Reaper by Chris Ivy, which serves as this issue's cover. Chris can be commissioned at ivyzink@gmail.com

This collection is made up of digital scans from DigitalComicMuseum.com, a great online repository of public domain comics, check it out. Props to all the scanners (bhcomics, Chris Wallace loftypilot, movielover, ontology, rangerhouse, soothsayr, yocitrus) who prepared these files.
