I've noticed, in my years on the Web, that
there is a paucity of information on obscure Golden Age heroes. Oh, there's
definitely information on the major heroes of the Golden Age. There are
Superman and Batman sites a-plenty, a few good ones on the Invaders
and the Justice Society,
and so on. There is even a good site for information on obscure
Timely heroes--it's my own site, but I'll forego the false modesty,
since it's a good site. But once get away from Marvel and DC and
Fawcett,
you're pretty much out of luck. Things aren't even that good, as the obscure
characters for DC and Fawcett aren't even covered by most every site out
there; try finding information on Mike Gibbs or Commando Yank online. Go
ahead. I dare you. And information on characters from non-Big Three companies
is just not available anywhere. (Well, okay, that's not, strictly speaking,
entirely accurate. The
Golden Age Directory has some links to non-Big Three companies and
heroes. But it's the best site out there for this sort of information,
and even Mikel's superlative effort is missing information, as he himself
would be the first to admit) So I'm filling this gap. This site will, when
complete, have information on every heroic character appearing in comics
from the Golden Age. However, for various reasons I've had to do this site
twice. So you've got two choices:
Netscape
For those with slow connections or who are using Netscape 4.0 and up. |
Internet
Explorer
For those with faster connections or who are using Internet Explorer. |
