I’ve said before I wasn’t a big fan of Frank Robbins’ comic book work but his highly stylized Batman stories-and here’s one from 1971- are starting to grow on me from all of their recent Net exposure.

I do love the MLJ heroes of the forties and one of my faves is the Fox whose debut, illustrated by Irwin Hasen, presents him in perhaps the goofiest superhero costume of them all.

Gorilla Daze has a brief feature on the rarely seen 1967 British Annual, Superadventure, complete with a wonderfully mismatched and mis-colored group of DC characters.

Finally, Pappy delivers a 1948 comic book tale of the Salem Witch Trials by one Maurice del Bourgo, one of many now-forgotten artists who once made their living in comics.
