darn near any Torchy panel is nice, but I like this one:

(how long before you noticed the alligators?)

 

There are alligators in the panel? :insane:

 

What issue did this great panel come from?

 

I love how all the women in Bill Ward comics are either gorgeous or old hags. The men are merely window dressing.

I can't really crop the image, so here's the whole page - Bert Christman was the Allied pilot shot down and killed in 1942 in the Burma Theatre that we've talked about on the Board before:

 

Risking the eternal wrath of RyanH, this is from AMF 1/4 (but was reprinted elsewhere):

For those that don't know Christman's work, he was the co-creator of the Sandman.

 

As 'Larry Dean', Christman handled the first four Sandman adventures in Adventure Comics (#40 through #43) before Flessel took over. Good stuff.

From the master, Bill Everett:

Awesome! What comic is that one from?

 

It was reprinted in Amazing Mystery Funnies 2/7, but appeared earlier in another issue somewhere. Centaur was well-known for shuffling/reprinting select stories around.

 

The full story ("The C-20 Mystery") is available in the Bill Everett Archives Vol. 1, Amazing Mysteries, from Fantagraphics Books. Highly Recommended.

 

Thanks! I got the "Fire and Water" book about Bill, but the archives book is still on my Amazon wish list. I'll have to bump it up!

 

Oh, BangZoom: I totally recognized that panel and the Archie comment still threw me for a loop! :P
