Original publication date July 20, 1947 In July of 1947, Superlative Publications, based in Streator, Illinois, released a new pulp magazine by the name of Superlative Tales. Due to unmitigated and coincidential circumstances, the publication was only on newsstands for less than a month. There has been much spectulation as to why it was pulled form the shelves. It's editor, Anton Owens, is quoted in his book, The Attempted Censorship of Comics and Pulps During 1940's-50's, published in the late 1970's, as believing that the lead story, The Wedding of Louis and Chocolate may have been the cause. The story deals with an alien race in the future and the publication just happened to coincide with the incident that supposedly took place at Roswell, New Mexico.

Now, for the first time in 60 years, Ink & Feathers Comics is releasing the pulp that time forgot! Complete with original ads, art, and layouts, Superlative Tales is truly a blast from the past! $1 out of each book sold goes to art and journalism scholarships at various high schools.
