'''AC Comics''' (formerly known as '''Paragon Publications''' and '''Americomics''') is a [[comic book]] publishing company started by Bill Black.<ref name=lackcb>[https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/bill-black-paint-it-black/ "Comic Book Biography: BILL BLACK"] by [[Rik Offenberger]], [[First Comics News]], November 19, 2003</ref><ref name=blacknewsarama>[https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/bill-black-40-years-of-ac-comics/ "Bill Black: 40 Years of AC Comics"] by [[Rik Offenberger]], [[First Comics News]], May 20, 2009</ref>

AC Comics specializes in reprints of [[Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] comics from now-defunct companies whose properties lapsed into [[public domain]] and were not reprinted elsewhere. It also publishes a number of [[Modern Age of Comic Books|Modern Age]] adventures starring the Golden Age superheroes that appeared in those stories. The most famous of those titles is ''[[Femforce]]'', which features the adventures of an all-female superhero team, one of the first teams of this nature in the comics industry.

Based on its focus on Golden Age reprints and stories inspired by that style, AC has developed a reputation for straightforward, fun, and action-packed [[superhero]] tales which often avoid the darker themes of many modern comics. AC artists often make use of a style known as "[[good girl art]]", made popular in the Golden Age era, which combines attractive, clean linework with elements of [[Pin-up model#cite_note-1|cheesecake]] and humor. In addition to superheroes, AC has attempted to preserve other comic book genres inspired by the series of the past, such as Westerns and jungle adventure.
