Comic Name: Air Fighters Comics v1 01 (paper+4fiche)-c2c (44.17 MB)
Description: Air Fighters Comics v1 01 (c2c - 64 paper; 4fiche)
Scanned from a coverless copy also missing the last page, so:
fc+bc from HAG; ifc, ibc & pages 63-4 from tigger's old fiche.
The rest: a freddyfly original!
*************************
This comic is really a one-shot, not the first of a series. All the familiar strips of the AirFighters/Airboy series began in issue #2, published a year after this one, and none of the strips in this comic appeared in issue 2.
Maybe the entry of the USA in WWII just after #1 appeared made the publishers re-think the contents, or maybe it was just poor sales, or both.

I really enjoyed the Black Commander character and wished he had made it into more comics. I was thrilled to learn that he had been adapted into the Worlds of Pulp Role Playing Game by Scaldcrow Games. It was a good story and deserved to be longer lasting.

This issue is interesting because it is the first time in a GA comic that I've seen the writer and artist both credited in nearly every story, and the earliest story I've seen by Bob Oksner (as both Robert Oksner in the first-page credits, and signed as Bob Oksner in the splash). His first published story was in Marvel Mystery Comics No. 10, cover-dated August 1940, 15 months before this issue. The Oksner style is already evident here in "'MACH' Duff, Junior Mechanic."
