Over at Steve Does Comics, Steve (not me) gives a belated post-mortem review to the fondly recalled but not really all that good Atlas line of comics from the seventies, particularly Tiger-Man.

Here’s a thoroughly pointless but nonetheless amusing look at Marvel Comics’ tendency to print almost single color-particularly red-covers throughout the early 1970′s. A number of examples are shown including a couple from other companies jumping on the non-existent bandwagon.

We haven’t checked in over at Cole’s Comics lately but a visit today finds a real treat-Will Eisner’s Spirit-in particular the “Fannie Ogre” sequence from the daily Spirit comic strip of 1942 as ghosted by (wait for it) Jack Cole!

Finally today, the appropriately timed reprint of a 1948 Jack Kirby gangster yarn, Bullets For the Bogus G-Man, subtitled The Untold, Inside Story of the Fake Income Tax Racket! This was originally published in Headline Comics.
