Master Comics

During the Golden Age of Comics Fawcett Publications once offered a real threat to DC Comics in sales. There was peroid when Captain Marvel, now known as the DC Hero Shazam, out did Superman in comic sales. That time however is long past and DC aquired Fawcett decades later. Master Comics with all of its gee whiz Golden Age energy represents Fawcett at its best. Each issue has mulitple stories with Fawcett's heroes and curious characters. The title was originally physically larger than other comics at 10.5 inches by 14 inches. This only lasted for the first 6 issues; with issue 7 it became standard size.
