Looks like another PS Artbooks "dump week." *sigh* As usual, I will not try to figure out what I've pre-ordered and compare it against what has shipped in advance; I'll just wait and see what comes in. I have broken my self-imposed "no softees" rule and bought the first volume of Air Fighters. I've been rereading Eclipse's Airboy recently and doing so has made me interested in reading more of the originals.
Now that the dust has cleared, it looks as if I ended up with:
GOLDEN AGE CLASSICS: BLACK TERROR VOL 1
PRE-CODE CLASSICS: DAREDEVIL COMICS VOL 1
PRE-CODE CLASSICS: GHOST RIDER VOL 3
...but looking more closely at the list, I should have received PRE-CODE CLASSIC ADVENTURE COMICS VOL 8: JOHNNY DYNAMITE as well. (Sometimes these genre anthologies fall through the cracks.) When I said (above) that I "bought the first volume of Air Fighters," what I should have said is that I ordered the first volume of Airboy. I ordered it directly from PS Artbooks in England and received it today, only 12 days later. I cetrtainly can't fault their service. (The reproduction of this volume is a bit closer to that of Gwandanaland than what I have become used to from PS Artbooks, however.) The "softee" begins with v3 #1 (which is when the title changed from Air Fighters to Airboy), so it doesn't start at the very beginning (although close to it).
I should be getting those same books in my next Westfield order. But I have stopped ordering from Westfield because of the same problem you have -- the confusion of what I have ordered, what I have and what hasn't come yet. Just last month I ordered Ghost Rider Vol. 2 and Blackhawk Vol. 10 because I thought I had missed them, only to find them in a stack I thought I'd searched. So now I have two of each. I'll be ordering from Instocktrades from now on, when the books are actually available, instead of the horrendous backlog I have at Westfield.
As to Airboy Vol. 1, I made the same remark about where it begins somewhere, or maybe I dreamed that I did. Anyway, my guess is that PS will eventually begin reprting Air Fighters, as they did Police Comics (after they'd begun with Plastic Man) and Military Comics (after they'd begun with Blackhawk).
As to Airboy Vol. 1, I made the same remark about where it begins somewhere...
I'm sure you did. But as I would have had no intention of buying a "softee" at that time, I probably glossed right over it. I'm encouraged to learn that PS Artbooks went back to release earlier material on two other occasions.
CHUCK DIXON ON THE ORIGINAL AIRBOY:
"The original Golden Age Airboy's sheer zaniness and funkiness made it a perfect fit for Eclipse Comics. A more seat-of-the-pants, homegrown, urban guerilla operation has never existed in the comic book business. These were comics in the raw and made the way comics were meant to be, on the fly andno idea too crazy. Just writin' and drawin' and getting all down on actual paper and sharing it with a public thirsting for the new, the fresh, and the edgy.
"Eclipse was simply the best home for David Nelson and his supporting cast of Air-Fighters to be revived in. the out-there concepts and somewhat subversive nature of hillman Comics stand out even in the goofy world of costumed hero funnybooks. The medium's first anti-hero monster character, the Heap, was a Hillman star and he makes his redebut in this volume. A wild character named Rackman appeared in several titles. Rackman was a dwarf who used an exo-skeleton suit to disguise himself as a six foot tough guy. He could return to his secret identity by climbing out of his costume!
"And the Air-Fighters themselves! A teen-aged kid with an ex-Nazi girlfriend. A guy who flies around with a wolf's head for a helmet and was once put on trial by Satan. The Flying Fool, the Black Angel, the Bald Eagle came and went as back-up features and were all quirky aerial daredevils who rained down hell on badguys of all stripes."
As I posted in the "Airboy" discussion, "Air Fighters (not only Airboy, but Skywolf, Iron Ace, the Black Angel, the Bald Eagle, the Flying Dutchman) appeals to me in a way that Blackhawk never did."
