When Ace Periodicals entered comics in 1940 with the title Sure Fire Comics, the field was already booming. The publisher wasted no time in catching up with the field and developing a superhero comic book line with a wide range of characters. For example, less than six months after the debut of Wonder Woman in All-Star Comics #8, Ace had launched Lightning Girl, a female counterpart for one of its most popular superhero characters.
Robert Morgan was an American studying in Egypt who encountered an ancient Egyptian figure known as 'The Old Man of the Pyramids', who taught him ancient arts and sciences, and gave him 'the Amulet of Annihilation, the weapon of the forces of right.' Sure-Fire Comics was renamed Lightning Comics with issue #4 and lasted until issue #6. Lightning Comics was then rebooted with a new #1 later in 1941.
