Very nice. Characters and themes from "Airboy" and "Terry and the Pirates" continued into Caniff's "Steve Canyon", through the 60s.

OOT: whenever I click on "The Dark Herald" link (https://substack.com/@thedarkherald) to get all publications associated to that account, Substack only shows one activity result: "Book Discussion: Night’s Master by Tanith Lee," that's it. Made sure with Firefox and Vivaldi (Chromium), the result was the same.

I have to use the main Arkhaven page to look for the rest of the DH articles. :-/

This is a great summary. I was aware of AIRBOY's backstory after reading Dick Lupoff's ALL IN COLOR FOR A DIME, Les Daniel's COMIX: A HISTORY OF COMICS IN AMERICA, and THE STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS when I was still in Junior High. So I was ready to read the revival and was not disappointed. Dave Stevens' cover for Number 5 was "memorable" and certainly in keeping with some of the more eye-grabbing covers from the original era.
