Perhaps the first flash of Wallace Wood’s true greatness as a comic book artist, here’s Avon’s one-off 1951 title, The Mask of Dr. Fu Manchu featuring Sax Rohmer’s classic but now politically incorrect “Yellow Peril” personification.

The Horrors of it All shares with us a little-seen but intriguing 1960′s Dell version of Dracula with a completely different storyline and atmospheric art by an artist with whose work I was not previously familiar-Max Elkan.

There’s really nothing special about comics artist Bob Brown but he’s always been a bit of a favorite of mine for some reason. Best known for his work on DC’s Challengers of the Unknown and Superboy (as well as a longish run on Marvel’s Daredevil), here he is on a Batman/Metal Men team-up from the seventies.

Finally today, we started with Wally Wood and end up with one of his former assistants, Roger Brand, in yet another NSFW story showcased over at Easily Mused-The Floating Head.
