Waffyjon’s “By the Tens” feature takes a look at some nicely drawn 1940′s HIT COMICS covers from Quality, mostly featuring KID ETERNITY.

Here’s a lovely tribute to the late artist Ric Estrada, one of the unsung craftsmen who toiled in comics off and on for five decades and was never really appreciated in his lifteime as much as the flashier guys.

In the 1960′s, when I discovered it, Chester Gould’s DICK TRACY was as much a sci-fi strip as it was a police procedural! I LOVE COMIX has archived several years worth of Space Coupe continuity with Diet Smith, Moon Maid and Tracy’s granddaughter, Honey Moon Tracy.

Finally, here’s a nice selection of magazine panel cartoons from the great VIP, Virgil Partch, excerpted from his 1944 collection, WATER ON THE BRAIN.
