It wasn't until the tenth issue (November 1940) that [[Target and the Targeteers|The Target]] himself was introduced, and only in issue #11 did The Targeteers come along. They were the creation of cartoonist [[Dick Briefer]], using the pen name of "Dick Hamilton." (Briefer was the man behind the [[Prize Comics]] version of [[Frankenstein]].<ref name="targeteers" />) Target & the Targeteers were among the longer-lasting superheroes of the 1940s, but even they eventually succumbed to changing times. They made their last appearance in ''Target Comics'' #95. Just as the title had begun without them, it went on for another ten issues with other stars. In recent years, The Target appeared without his partners in ''Men of Mystery Comics'' #24, published by [[AC Comics]], which makes it their business to reprint Golden Age comics from now-defunct companies whose properties have lapsed into the [[public domain]].<ref name="targeteers" /> In 2008, The Target and the Targeteers are among the many public domain characters to appear in ''[[Project Superpowers]]'', a miniseries from [[Dynamite Entertainment]].

The title character superhero was created by Joe Simon, and ''Blue Bolt'' #2 (July 1940) featured the first pairing of legendary Marvel cartoonists Simon and Kirby.

Although published in Philadelphia, Novelty Press's editorial offices were in New York City.

History

[edit]
Blue Bolt Comics #2 (July 1940). Cover art by W.E. Rowland

Novelty Press launched its first title, Target Comics, debuted with a cover date of February 1940, followed shortly thereafter by Blue Bolt.[2]

Target Comics featured such stars as Bull's-Eye Bill, Lucky Byrd, and The White Streak (Target's first superhero). Material for the book was supplied by Funnies, Inc., a packager also responsible for many of Marvel Comics' early characters.[1] Creators included Bill Everett, Joe Simon, and Tarpé Mills. Basil Wolverton's Spacehawk (which originated in Circus comics) made its Target Comics debut with issue #5, and ran for many issues. The superhero Target, created by cartoonist Dick Briefer under the pen nam "Dick Hamilton", was introduced in issue #10 (Nov. 1940), accompanied by the Targeteers the following issue.[2] The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide suggests that the first comic book letter column may have appeared in Target Comics #6. The page in question also has an early mention of comic-book collecting.)[3]

Blue Bolt's title character superhero was created by Joe Simon, and Blue Bolt #2 (July 1940) featured the first pairing of the longstanding and pioneering creative team of Simon and Jack Kirby.[2]

4 Most, launched in 1941, was Novelty's answer to DC Comics' omnibus title World's Finest Comics and All American's Comic Cavalcade.[2]

Young King Cole, debuting in 1945, was an anthology title headlined by one of the comic genre's first private detectives.[4]

In 1949, due to the growing criticism over violence in comic books, Novelty Press sold its assets to Blue Bolt cover artist L.B. Cole.[5] Using his new assets, Cole began his own company, Star Publications.[citation needed]
