It’s that time of year and here’s Dell’s adaptation of Mad Monster Party?, the Rankin-Bass stop motion animated horror comedy that’s been gaining respect in hindsight. The film was written by Harvey Kurtzman with characters designed by Jack Davis, neither of whom had anything to do with this comic.

Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams revived the Joker in an early seventies Batman as the murderously insane serial killer he had been back in the early Golden Age stories. Then somebody at DC got the bright idea to give the character his own title…and make him the silly version again!

Here’s prolific but little-known writer/artist and editor Ernie Hart (writer of a number of early Marvel Universe stories as E.L. Huntley) with some marvelous cartooning on Quality’s Mightymite from 1946.

Finally today, Cartoonist Henry Boltinoff, as mentioned here recently, was known mainly for his Silver Age National/DC filler strips but he was doing them as well as some regular strips way back in the Golden Age, too. Here’s some Honey in Hollywood.
