As ace reporter for the Daily Star, Chic Carter came up against the worst of the worst, and with his brains and fist, bested them all. He began in SMASH COMICS with the first issue. When he is framed for murder, however, he became THE SWORD in Smash Comics #24, and worked outside the law to fight crime as well as prove his innocence. His stint as THE SWORD moved to POLICE COMICS #1, but was short, only three issues before he was back as himself, flashing his customary blue suit and stylish hat . CHIC CARTER (AKA THE SWORD) had a fantastic run in Smash Comics (#1-24; 1939-1941), Police Comics (#1-18; 1941-1943) and National Comics (#33-47; 1943-1945). We bring you the first complete collection in print, ever!
