It is Whitewash Jones.  Yeah, it was a different time.

 

To be fair, they’re all caricaturized here. Not all of the adults, but many of the sidekicks, and many secondary characters.

Awesome Red Skull cover. Love the double KO!

At the beginning there was also Stalin, but eventually he became an ally so they adjusted the cover art. The original one can be seen in the ads.

Here are some new ones, took a run at a bunch of Jamie Graham's Marvel Mysteries and got 3.  Alas I was the underbidder on about 10 more!  

Here's a nice looking MM 13

This one's really sharp, hence the CVA

last book from Jamie

More MM's but not from Clink this is an upgrade from my first Marvel Mystery comic that I ever purchased.  The original is a beater with felt pen color touches but I'll still keep it.  Bought it at Dragon Lady Comics in Toronto around 20 years ago.  They had just got it 3 long boxes of Gold, I remember seeing some Caps, MM's and my first Amazing Man (#7).  Didn't have the funds to get anything more than the beater MM 31 but I picked that one because it had Everett art on the inside!

You're talking about the "Duke" collection of course.

I'm in Toronto and about 20 years ago Dragon Lady acquired a collection sold on consignment from a biker guy from the backwoods named Duke. He had been farming this collection around for awhile but no one wanted to pay his price. DL agreed to sell for him. Someone suggested "fixing" some of the problems with the books, thus markers were used. He had some nice esoteric stuff. Timely's, Atom -age comics etc. I bought a few, my first Golden Age. Everybody knew of it. Harley went to see it, which required some backroad travelling, and when Duke looked out and saw he wasn't white, started shooting, this being a story I heard. A doctor friend of mine went to see the collection and purchased quite a few. The guy was Jed Clampett basically. Never met him and have long sold any copies I purchased. I seem to remember I had a Marvel Mystery 36 in fine, no resto. Should have kept it.

"Jed" should've at least listened to Harley's offer before he started shooting.

By that time it would have been at close range and Harley would not be here.

Thanks for sharing the back story, good thing I got mine from DL and not Duke himself as I might not be here too.

This one doesn't seem to get a lot of love, but I've always liked it

I've always liked it too.  Maybe it just wasn't Visionary enough following Jack Kirby's Angel cover.
