Fight Comics was an action and adventure anthology series published by Fiction House, debuting
in January of 1940. Fight Comics starred tales of Sailor of fortune Shark Brodie, boxer Kayo Kirby,
underwater adventures with Kinks Mason, epics starring Big Red McLane-King of the Northwoods,
wild action with Oran of the Jungle, superhero sagas featuring Rip Regan-the Power Man and the
Super-American, plus the aerial accounts of Chip Collins. As an added bonus, this volume has short
biographies of various famous boxers.
The artists and writers in this series included such Golden Age greats as Will Eisner, Lou Fine,
Maurice Gutwirth, Klaus Nordling, Fletcher Hanks and George Tuska. Fight Comics would
ultimately last eighty-six issues. Retro Comic Reprints plans on collecting all of these issues so you
don’t need to worry about fighting to amass all these amazing comics yourself.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are
eighty years old. Issue #4's pages are from microfische. The best efforts have been made to make
the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age
of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents. The stories here were
created in a less enlightened time and there are some images that may offend modern readers.
