It looks like a Street and Smith book. I don't know the characters very well. Rocket Rooney sounds like a good possibility. Perhaps Horatio Alger for the other. If they switched artist on the strip then Iron Munro would be a good guess with the artist from Nick Carter. These guys worked in Shadow and Air Ace. Shot in the dark maybe. The artist looks the same but I still don't know the characters I think.

Hey, it should have been Iron Munro. I just saw that Theodore Sturgeon wrote the -script in Shadow #5. Cool, I didn't know that. Unfortunately it is the only issue I have of the early Shadow. Nice stories though.

And I see that Jack Farr did both Iron Munro and Rocket Rooney. Well it looked like those guys but you tell me. Am I close or is it New More Adventure Fun 12 and 1/2. Ashcan edition from Australia.

You are close. (thumbs u

 

It isn't Iron Munro.

 

Make another guess.

What about Nick Carter? I don't remember a space theme for that strip but as long as I am guessing.

bb

No, not Nick Carter.

 

Here's a hint: you've mentioned the name of the strip tonight but you haven't correctly identified the comic book.

The other strip was, Danny Hawk the Boy with the Camera Eye.

 

I was hoping it was Horatio Alger Jr. getting beat up. Tough strip to find. There aren't a lot of Rocket Rooney reprints out there. I kind of like the squirting volcanos. Can we see the splash?

Hello BZ,

 

Congratulations on such a wonderful Golden Age collection. Don't recall if you have answered this already but do you actually own an Action Comics #1? If not, is it currently on your collecting radar? If you do own one, what grade would you estimate it to be?? Thank you and once again I am completely in awe of such a magnificent collection of items you have attained (thumbs u !!
