Gil Kane is at his best today with the Groovy Agent’s presentation of Kane’s T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS story redefining the character of Raven. Kane’s redesigned costume and sleek artwork here was an amazing change from the dark Manny Stallman art the feature had previously seen.

One of the reasons for the success of DC’s mystery books of the late sixties and early seventies was the emergence of Berni(e) Wrightson as their main cover artist. Wrightson added a number of illustrations to the two little-known HOUSE OF MYSTERY short story collections written by former EC writer Jack Oleck also. Mr. Door Tree shows them to us today.

Back over at COLE’S COMICS, Jack Cole’s MIDNIGHT comes around again in two more inventive stories (with analyses) from his early SMASH COMICS run.
