      I always wanted to try it, as I became a big fan of Chuck Dixon thanks to his Batman work. He got the Robin gig based on his handling of Airboy. Chuck had a helluva handle on the Bat-verse, and it ain't been the same since he left.

      He's a helluva nice guy too!

        Wish there were some color reprints of the 40's comics.

          Hmmmm....

          This is one of them things I like the idea of more than the actual book. I saw bits and pieces of the original comic when I was a kid, and loved the plane.... but couldn't get into the Eclipse run. (I AM looking for the Airboy/Mr Monster teamup.)

              I quite enjoyed the series back in the day. it was my intro to Chuck Dixon's writing before he went to DC and other places. Liked the Heap.

              Thomas Yeates inks on Truman was cool.

                I liked the Airboy series when it came out...that Dave Stevens cover is one of the best ever!

                I saw Moonstone released a #1 issue last week that looked pretty good. Thought I might pick that one up. I've had an issue or two of the original series over the years, never thought it was anything spectacular though.

                Doesn't Todd McFarlane own the Heap now?

                  McFarlane's got a version of The Heap, but I believe it's a public domain character isn't it? Not sure someone could do a Heap action figure by name, but they could certainly do Mucky Comics (starring The Heap).

                    McFarlane owns the Eclipse versions of Airboy and the Heap. Both are public domain characters in their Golden Age versions. Shocker toys is releasing a Heap figure as part of their new Golden Age line, which also includes the Black Terror, the original Blue Beetle, the Arrow, and the original Daredevil - all public domain characters.
