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 (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FDigitalComicMuseum.com%2F&h=ATNQ_mutqbR-Fzt07s_T1yPkfz9ilPnkhwqjgYXlqMqPOUlVbtLtMkazUBd4qU6OuzsjrucnadstT7sDjbgkoA32m_GtMr4xPC_3LFgS-WKcJ5u19sjiBTmEZ1MJGGawYeoJUij-9-SGRjvZ-DCbThBNtw13sb8UdluYSRCmw15NHrEmXu4jwUMol70IP4vy65HMZkFMc7X8qogSHXAAenXO0kv8DDJiQxPqoiTtSUA6Nnq5NExOFuuY9DOTAN97t5H6a6jGWOpxgZ9KWnV7LnRMGSinY3f96_GTQZw0SlE), a great online repository of public domain comics, check it out.
