"Earth-R" is a world sparsely populated by costumed crimefighters and criminals. It began in 1940 with X, the Phantom Fed, a master of disguise G-Man, and over the next decade and half, more than a dozen "atomic heroes", ranging from pulp vigilantes to jungle heroines to mystics to occult detectives to advanced technology heroes to scientists to actual superhumans joined him in the crusade against crime. It is now the mid-'50s. The contributors to the series are a mix of pros and fans who share a love of public domain characters.
