“That’s not a manbun, you fraud!”
Exciting Comics #1
Better Publications, Inc (April, 1940)
Another new title enters the game, not to be confused by a similar titled comic by Antarctic Press I just learned about. Yep, it’s an anthology. What do we expect. I write this before reading it, but going over the story list I don’t recognize any of the character names. Outside of Klaus Nordling I don’t recognize any name here, and I only know that one from other Golden Age comics I’ve reviewed. So we’ll just have to see how “exciting” these comics are if they didn’t release any famous heroes but lasted 69 issues.
By the way, those of you who actually read this feature here at the Spotlight will want to check out Sunday’s update, usually mixed into the Jake & Leon posting. “Yesterday’s” Comic isn’t going away but there’s going to have to be a change in how I do this. Archival readers won’t care so check that out, or the Programming Note on Sunday if I don’t get the comic done. For now, let’s meet the new kids on the block and see why they didn’t have the right stuff. (Look, someone was going to make that reference.)

Finally, someone else bringing this up. Also don’t forget that one of 13’s Companions was married to a black woman and she died the same episode. You have to be gay to survive being the black person in an interracial relationship on modern Doctor Who. Interspecies relationships, however, are totally allowed.
