Sixty-eight pages of all the comic book characters you've never heard of!
The Ray (by E. Lectron) -- In private life the Stars ace reporter Happy Terrill, but when th going gets tough he morphs into a superhero in a yellow body suit with a reverse shark fin on the top of his head. It's hard to make this stuff up. Happy has a kid companion Buddy, who doesn't know he's The Ray
Rookie Rankin -- A young cop who can always get himself in (and out) of trouble. Here his kid sidekick is Tim.
Archie O'Toole -- A humor comic with a young ruler who wears a large crown hires an un-handy man. A one-pager.
The Jester (by Paul Gustavson) -- Rookie cop Chuck Lane is the costumed crime-fighter The Jester. He has perhaps the most ridiculous costume of them all. He's so tough he doesn't need a kid sidekick!
Wildfire (by Jim Mooney & Robert Turner) -- Carol Vance, bow Caeol Martin, the adopted daughter of a rich family, was gifted the power over all flames by the god of fire when she was a baby. When she fights evil, she's hot stuff! Red bra? Natch. Red shorts? Natch. Red knee-high boots? Natcch. Long red hair? Natch. What more can you ask for from a gal who can control flames?
Invisible Justice (by Art Gordon) -- Kent Thurston, the Invisible Hood, has a super power. Can you guess what it is?
Midnight (by Jack Cole) -- This enemy of crime wears a black and blue reversible suit. His only weapon is a "vacuum gun." He's aided by appropriately named inventor Doc Wacky and by Gabby, an amazing talking monkey.
Wings Wendall (by Vernon Henkel) -- A fighting ace who goes against the Japanese in WWII.
Wun Clod (by Ralph Johns) -- Another one-pager, this time with an atrociously stereotypical oriental who drives poorly. I can't even call this humor.
The Purple Trio (by S. M. Regi) -- The former vaudeville team of Rocky the Strongman, Warren the ventriloquist, and Tiny the midget take on a perilous mission outh of the border.
Black X (by Will Erwin) -- Black X, the free-lance defender of democracy, battles alien termites in the nation's capitol.
Bozo the Robot (by Wayne Reid) -- An indestructible iron man (no relation to Tony Stark) that battles evil under the control of its owner Hugh Hazzard.
Plus...a two-page text story to keep the postal authorities happy: "The Fiery Warning" by Robert Hyatt.
Some great artwork and interesting stories here.
Enjoy.
