All-American Comics

All-American Comics was the first title published by National "sister company," of the same name (sans hyphen). In essence, DC's editor Max Gaines established an "imprint" of his own to expand DC's (National Comics) comics production. Formally, All American Comics was a partnership between Gaines and Harry Donenfeld, also of National. The two companies shared a printer and much of the same staff. All-American also published All-Star Comics and Flash Comics.

Among the features in the series, All-American Comics, were several licenced or newspaper reprint characters such as "Bobby Thatcher" and "Ben Webster," who were slightly more prominent at the time. The characters from "Adventures into the Unknown" originated from a book adaption that may not be in the public domain.

All-American Comics was most famous for its mystery men such as Green Lantern, the Atom, Dr Mid-Nite, Red Tornado and Sargon the Sorceror as well as a later run of the Black Pirate. When the title changed to All-American Western with #103–126 (Oct. 1948–July 1952), it retired the heroes and introduced Foley of the Fighting Fifth and the more famous cowboy, Johnny Thunder. Later still, when it became All-American Men of War (1952) it debuted Native American WWII pilot Johnny Cloud.
