AC Comics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AC Comics is a comic book publishing company started by Bill Black. It started out as Paragon Publications in 1982, and was briefly known as Americomics in 1983, before becoming AC in 1984. It was one of the initial quartet of independent color comics companies who pioneered the direct sales phenomenon in the early 1980s.

Today, AC Comics specializes in reprints of Golden Age comics from now-defunct companies whose properties lapsed into public domain and were not reprinted elsewhere. It also published a number of modern-age adventures starring the Golden Age superheroes that appeared in those stories. The most famous of those titles is Femforce, which features the adventures of an all-female superhero team.

[edit] Licenses

AC Comics had used Charlton Comics characters particularly the Blue Beetle and Captain Atom in the comic title Sentinels of Justice. When the rights for these characters were sold to DC Comics, AC Comics created a second Sentinels of Justice team (writing the first out of continuity), composed of some of its original characters as well as ones from the public domain.
