Walt Kelly time again! Here in a couple of posts from Thom Buchanan including the self-referential and blatantly promotional “Donald Duck Meets the Seven Dwarfs” from 1944!

Skywald was a second string version of Warren with its 1970′s black and white horror mags such as NIGHTMARE and PSYCHO. The difference is that they also published regular color comics including one starring a modernized version of a Golden Age monster hero called THE HEAP. Here, though, the b&w debut of that character with art by the ever-popular team of Andru and Esposito.

Speaking of Warren, STAR STUDDED WAR COMICS shows us not one but two stories from Warren’s BLAZING COMBAT from the mid-sixties. The first is a well-done Archie Goodwin/Gene Colan collaboration and the second is teh classic Wally Wood aerial tour-de-force, “The Battle of Britain.”

Finally today, AGAIN WITH THE COMICS makes merciless but seemingly well-deserved fun of a horribly obscure superhero from 1940 called DYNAMITE THOR.
