Target Comics
(Premium, 1940-1949)
™ and ©1946 Premium Services Co., Inc.
Series continues in Target Western Romances #106
Target Comics emerged in the heyday of the Golden Age, featuring a credible lineup of masked heroes, comic strip-style adventure stories, and humorous filler. Leading talents such as Jack Cole (creator of Plastic Man), Bill Everett (Sub-Mariner), and Carl Burgos (The Human Torch) contributed to its pages, but Target is today best known as the showcase for Space Hawk, the classic, science-fiction strip by comic art genius Basil Wolverton. Space Hawk appeared in the first several issues, but by the mid-1940s, Target slipped back into the pack as an average-quality anthology title. In 1949, it was bought, along with Novelty’s other books including Blue Bolt by L. B. Cole’s Star Publications. Cole contributed a few of his lurid poster-painted covers, but reader interest continued to wane and Target folded before 1950.
