D2-117 - "The Biggest Living Thing in the Universe” (4/15/80 to 8/9/80)

Art: Dan Barry 

Summary: Leaving the island of Tamboka (see D2-116 Shark Boy) to rendezvous with Zarkov on Xahid, an unexplored continent on Mongo, Flash and Dale are shown alien living spores that have grown into massive living creatures.

Discovering that the ‘living’ landmasses serve as forward bases for automated war machines led by a Skorpi cyber-brain, Flash and his friends rushes back to Arboria to put the whole of Mongo on war alert...

Black Besses


Last September in Pappy's #810 I showed a Captain Fight story from Fight Comics #53, 1947. A reader mentioned that the villainess in that tale, Black Bess, also appeared in this issue of Jumbo Comics, #103, also 1947.

If you look at both stories you see the Black Bess of this Hawk story drawn by R. H. Webb is a sexy highway robber, and in the other, drawn by Jack Kamen, a sexy pirate. They appear to be two characters with the same name. Personally, though, I like the cuts of their jibs, and I'd go down to the sea in ships for either one, or both of them, matey!

The Ghost Bell of Terror Valley!

I've been promising to post a horror western tale for a few a months no (per request), so here's a good'un from Bobby Benson's B-BAR-B Riders Vol. 1 #14 from 1952. This pre-Marvel cowboy "Ghost Rider" by the king of severed heads himself Dick Ayers is certainly no Johnny Blaze, but his quest for justice is just as thrilling and hair-raisingly hellbent.




















For a much more gruesome old west horror story from this issue click HERE! And if westerns aren't really your cup of tea, head over to AEET for some lovely pulp luridness courtesy of Man's Book Periodical!

Clark Kent: Not An Atheist

Because, as the old saying goes, there are no atheists in foxholes. And Clark (or his Superman identity) certainly found himself in foxholes often:


D2-116 - "Shark Boy” (12/24/79 to 4/14/80)


Art: Dan Barry 

Summary: Ferrying U-Lan to his exile on the paradise island of Tamboka (see D2-115 Ming’s Children), Flash and his party are attacked by a two-headed sea dragon, but manage a miraculous escape thanks to the intervention of a boy riding on a colossal shark.

Safely ashore, Flash learns the tragic history behind the boy's growing up amongst sharks and his bitter quest for revenge against Ming’s old allies the vicious Lizardmen, who are once again preparing an all-out attack against the paradise island...

Star Ranger #1


Dave Miller, to whom I salaam deeply in thanks, provided scans for a recent acquisition of his, Star Ranger #1. He found a coverless copy and agreed to scan it for me so I can show it to you. Star Ranger #1, dated February, 1937, is the first Western comic, but also significant because it is a platinum age comic book using original material, while many comics were still doing reprints of newspaper comics.

Some of the artwork is very good, but some is crude, some of the stories even cruder. There are racist depictions of Mexicans and at least one ugly page of caricatured black people. For those I apologize, with the excuse that it was the way things were done in those days, without regard to any offense they might cause.

I have reduced the size of Dave's scans, but essentially left them alone so you can see the comic as he bought it, as it survived 74 years until it came into his possession. The cover I took from the Heritage Auctions site.
