THE GOLDEN AGE BLUE BEETLE VOLUME EIGHT STANDARD COLOR EDITION: COLLECTING HIS ADVENTURES FROM ISSUES #42-49,#51 & #52 RETRO COMIC REPRINTS #542
Dan Garrett was inspired to become a policeman after his father was killed by gangsters, but he found that everyday police work was not enough. He became THE BLUE BEETLE! At first he fought crime in a blue suit and mask, using only his human strength and wits, but early in his career was almost killed....and Dr. Franz created "Vitamin 2X" - and used it to save Garrett's life, at the same time giving him super-strength, super speed, even super intelligence. Now, donned in his armored costume, BLUE BEETLE had become a bona fide superhero.
THE BLUE BEETLE has been retold and rebooted many times over the last 75 years. This is the original BLUE BEETLE, the Golden Age classic hero. He appeared in many comics, including a 60-
issue series of his own title, and 31 issues of MYSTERY MEN. In June of 1942, Blue Beetle moved from Fox to Holyoke Publishing with issues #12. Holyoke would continue to publish Blue Beetle until issue #31 when the title returned to Fox Publishing.
FOX skipped issue #43, The numbering goes from #42 to #44. Also, I have been unable to find scans of Issue #50. Fabulous rewards are available for the person who can proivde scans of that issue for me. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.
THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY OTHERS) IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF MARK LECHAK
