No. 171 August 2012<br />

Special Swayze Section<br />

This month, we’re devoting<br />

FCA’s full eight pages to the work of<br />

Marc Swayze, who for more than a<br />

decade and a half has written his<br />

“We Didn’t Know… It Was the<br />

Golden Age!” column for these<br />

pages. Our cover illo is a Swayze<br />

sketch of Mary Marvel, a superheroine<br />

he visually created for<br />

Fawcett Publications in 1941-42; it<br />

was drawn in 2006 for Belgian<br />

fan/collector Dominique Leonard.<br />

Thanks to Dominique for sharing it<br />

with us—and to Randy Sargent for<br />

coloring it especially for this issue.<br />

The remainder of this edition of<br />

FCA is devoted to a 7-page story<br />

Marc illustrated in 1955 for Charlton<br />

<strong>Comic</strong>s—but for a comic book title<br />

which had originated at Fawcett—<br />

about which we’ll tell you more as<br />

we move along, page by page….<br />
