Scrooge Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 (NB: I promise the next story I post will feature more testoterone ...) Well, I'd better since Dotty left everyone cold, or should I say that Al Hartley did ... What says testoterone better than blowing up stuff? ... Nothing, so let's drop the big one - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 (NB: I promise the next story I post will feature more testoterone ...) Well, I'd better since Dotty left everyone cold, or should I say that Al Hartley did ... I liked it, just too busy to comment. Best Hartley artwork I've ever seen, GGA torn skirt, special appearances by carbolic acid and a (stuffed) gorilla. Not bad at all. What says testoterone better than blowing up stuff? ... Nothing, so let's drop the big one - They all hate us anyhow... WHOA! Some story! Where's it from? PN9 = Picture News 9? Not too often you get to read about "The Earth's end! Utter destruction everywhere!" (Well, I suppose not too infrequently in comic books.) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Real Funnies?? I suppose in the sense of, "That's real funny!" What's hilarious to me is that the cover artist had a "animals sticking their tongue out" fetish. It simply cracks me up. It's flat-out weird Yes, the Atom Bomb over Bikini story is from Picture News # 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Ad from Red Ryder # 3. A quick follow-up on the Green Lama. Here's his look in the pulps. Note that in the ad, it mentions that the Green Lama can "paralyze an enemy by a touch of his hand". Notice in the page below that the text refers to an annotation at the bottom that explains how the Green Lama can do that - The illo and text are from the May 1940 issue of The Green Lama - Croesus of Murder - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Scrooge, MrBedrock has recommended that we should all read Whiz 25 and Master 22, if we ever get the opportunity. Any chance you could post scans of the Capt. Nazi stories from those issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Scrooge, MrBedrock has recommended that we all read Whiz 25 and Master 22 if we get the opportunity. Any chance you could post scans of the Capt. Nazi stories from those issues? I have those pages but the quality of the scans is just plain awful (esp. for Master 22)... I had those stories in the Shazam! archives I believe but I sold my set to Timulty a loooong while ago. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, we have no scans, but here are some photos of the key pages from Whiz # 25 concerning the origin of Capt. Marvel Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
