Let’s start today with the very first issue of DC’s narcissistically self-published fanzine, The Amazing World of DC Comics from 1974, complete with Kirby, Kubert and lots more neat stuff for fanboys.

With his EC-style art, Howard Nostrand was a mainstay of the fifties horror and humor comics. Ever wondered what happened to him? Here he is in the late seventies doing Mad-style work for Cracked!

Over at Pappy’s we find Boody Rogers, Craig’s old buddy, with part one of the great first issue of the odd superhero, Sparky Watts, in which our hero goes after Hitler personally.

Finally today, here’s the classic DC Deadman team of writer Arnold Drake and artist Neal Adams on a late 1967 story from…The Adventures of Bob Hope?
