Here we see the same story twice. The first pages are from the original appearance in DYNAMIC COMICS in 1942, the corresponding page beneath it is from a reprint just two years on in MAJOR VICTORY. The main differences are in the coloring but note how that really does make a difference in the story.

I suppose the coloring in the reprint is
technically more "correct", but I rather
like the coloring in the original.
Even though it's less "realistic" & sometimes
slightly off-register, the color in the original
gives the artwork a genuinely creepy feel,
that really enhances the story of Dynamic
Boy vs Hideous (werewolf, gorilla or whatever???).
Either way it's a cute story, with fun
artwork & an obscure G.A. hero.
Thanks for posting the very interesting comparisons.
I wonder how the reprint were effected, given Chesler's awful practice of destroying original art.
I do appreciate that Dr Brown leapt into the fray instead of just spectating.
