Golden Lad 005

Only 5 issues ever made — one of the rarest superhero runs of the 1940s.

Published by Spark Publications, Golden Lad ran for just 5 issues in 1945–1946, making it one of the shortest superhero runs of the Golden Age. Tommy Preston gained the power of pure gold from a mystical Aztec heart, becoming the Golden Lad. The extreme rarity of print copies — combined with the charming C.C. Beck-influenced artwork — makes this one of the most sought-after short runs among Golden Age collectors.
