King, Queen, and Jack-Bill Lignante-1963


An obscure Gold Key back-up strip, the premise of a guy named King, a guy named Queen, and a kid named Jack, sounds like it could be a TV series of the day.

Super Richie-1974


This one-off appearance of Super Richie was enough to get the character (along with sidekick, Super-Cadbury) his own long-running series.

Creepy-1949


Sure it's basically Tom and Jerry with a cameo by a disguised Porky Pig but check out that name! Could young, impressionable Jimmy Warren have been a fan of this?

The White Rider and His Super Horse-1940


This character--a Lone Ranger variant--poked around for a decade or more at a couple different publishers and himself may have inspired the original Ghost Rider and maybe even marvel's Black Rider. This is his debut.

Ruff and Reddy-Jason Comic Art Studio-1947


As a kid I was a big fan of the late 1950s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Ruff and Reddy. I wonder if maybe Hanna and Barbera were fans of this late 1940s comic strip? Not that there's anything in common but the name. And it's from EC Comics, yet!
