Don Winslow of the Navy-1944

If you'll pardon the WWII-era stereotypes, here we have another pre-DC comic book appearance of Bob Hope (aka Bob FAITH), entertaining the troops alongside Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy and Dorothy Lamour, all of whom had their own comics at one point or another.

The Jetsons-1964

Even Hanna-Barbera's first family of space was not immune to the all-prevailing horror trend of the early sixties, as witnessed by this mad doctor storyline with a cameo by Alfred Hitchcock--sorta. 

I Foiled An Enemy Invasion-Jack Davis-1958

Serious Jack Davis stories became a rarity after the 1950s as he delved deeper and deeper into humor, sports and commercial art. Here's a good one from near the end of his serious phase and even it has some humorous moments.

Dilton-Archie's TV Laugh-Out-1975

Dilton Doiley has rarely gotten a "solo" story except for a brief period in the mid-1970s, Being the dark-haired brainy shy kid with glasses myself, I could certainly relate to him more than I could to Archie, Reggie or Jughead.

Captain Blood-Special Agent-1948

Here's a wonderfully drawn intro story (were there more?) by the great Ruben Moreira, best known for his long association with DC on strips such as ROY RAYMOND, TV DETECTIVE. The character is a far cry from Errol Flynn's dashing movie hero of the same name, though.

Gangbusters-Dan Barry-1947

GANGBUSTERS was based on, or rather inspired by, radio's violent series of the same name. Initially it appeared as a short feature in Dell Comics but as crime comics became a big deal, National  went so far as to give it its own title, essentially an anthology crime series. Some real nice art here, credited to Flash Gordon's second father, Dan Barry. I'd swear that girl at right in the splash was drawn by Kirby, though. 

The Inspector-1960's (From a 1974 Reprint)

Not quite Clouseau, this PINK PANTHER spin-off strip, from the PINK PANTHER spin-off cartoon of the same name, was quite amusing on its own and even more so if one reads it in the voice of its animated version, the late Pat Harrington, Jr.
