All-Amazing Comics #3

Hello and welcome to the third outstanding issue of All-Amazing Comics!!! Here you'll get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness! Before you go check out the special announcement about the next issue in the letters section!

First up this time around is a feature that just appeared in Pure Excitement Comics, Wonderman. I hope you enjoy this one as it's the hardest Nedor character to get without paying a ton of money!!!

Next up we have another story from the lighter side of super heroics, Lt. Hercules. I must say, as goofy as he is, he's one of my many favorites!!!

Here's a bonus this month, Captain Marvel!!! Look for future original stories in the future!!!
