MAKin’ linKS # 278

Been kind of quiet around here lately. How about a few links?
The nearsighted Mister Magoo translated surprisingly well from cartoons to comic strips and even comic books. Here we have a funny 1952 story drawn by Cecil Surry, one of Magoo’s actual animators.

Here’s an interesting little back-up western tale written by Jack Oleck and drawn by Gil Kane…but probably not completely. Lots of fun trying to figure out who Kane’s phantom inker(s) was here.

Here’s the ever-popular and ever-trippy Fletcher Hanks with a 1940 escapade of Fantomah, Mystery Woman of the Jungle, published by Fiction House.

Finally today, one of Gold Key’s TV comics, here the Wild, Wild West from 1968, features the art of the oft-maligned Sal Trapani, who tended to use ghosts quite a bit. If he’s doing so here, he has a good one!
