- The latest entry in the Red Circle reprint series, this historical edition highlights one of the pioneering super-hero titles of the Silver Age: The Fly! Tommy Troy is a young boy whose world is turned upside down when he meets an emissary of the Fly World and is given a special ring that magically transforms him into the superhuman Fly!

All of these artists and more are featured in this special edition that collects titanic tales from 1959 and 1960.
