   Welcome to Pure Excitement Comics, the number one source for original Golden Age comic book reprints on the Web!

   Two years in the making -- it's the 24th spectacular issue of Pure Excitement Comics!
   Up first this month is a pair of heroes known as Flying Fist and Bingo, from Prize Comics no. 40, published in March of 1944 by Feature Publications. The duo appeared in Prize Comics nos. 35-43 and 45-47.
   The second feature this month is the Champ in a story from Champ Comics no. 13, published in May of 1941 by Champ Publishing Company. The Champ appeared in Champion/Champ Comics 2-24..
   Our third story this time around is sort of an oddity. It's the last appearance of the Black Terror, from Exciting Comics no. 69 (published in September of 1949 by Better Publications, Inc.). Except for one thing -- the Black Terror does not appear in costume in this issue, and only at the end in his civilian identity! The story features his sidekick Tim in some fantastic solo action. The Black Terror appeared in Exciting Comics 9-69, America's Best Comics 1-31, and The Black Terror 1-27.
   Hope you enjoy this issue. Be sure to check back next month for our special king-sized 25th issue. Also, both my CD-ROMs are still available. More information about the CDs, which cost a mere $10 each (shipped), can be found at this link!
