Issue count: 77
The Axis-punching superheroes and the appealing dramas every Golden Age comic fan loves! See what copies that are floating around are selling for by using our online price guide!
Headline Comics first started as an ordinary comic in the early 40s: stories about masked heroes going to Japan or Germany to fight the Axis forces. They gained recognition with these tales, but after the war ended, they needed to shift the main line of the comics.
Jack Kirby and Joe Simon then began working on the comic, creating new tales about dramas and deeper issues than fighting. Towards the end of the series, they returned to Marvel Comics and Headline managed to stay afloat for a while, but it was finally canceled in 1956 after releasing 77 issues.
