Super Thriller Comic no.28

Super Thriller Comic n.28 featuring Ace Hart the Atom Man. This british golden age comic book is probably from 1949 or 1950. The first issue of Superthriller was published by Edinburgh-based printer/publisher Foldes Press in 1948. After ten issues Super Thriller Comic were sold to World Distributors (The Pembertons) which continued the title until #33, when it was retitled Western Super Thriller Comics in 1952. None of the creators were credited (a common practice in the British comic industry at the time) and have yet to be identified. Ace Hart was revied by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill in the fourth volume of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2018).
