Super Rabbit-Ernie Hart-1943

After Superman, was there anything that wasn't given a SUPER version during the 1940s?

Gadgetman and Gimmick Kid-Jerry Siegel-1968

No idea who the artist is here but what we have is a set of two episodes in a continuing serial from the weekly British LION paper. The campy story and Adam West and Burt Ward-style dialogue comes from, of all people Superman creator Jerry Siegel, who was at the time also writing THE SPIDER in LION. 

Hack O'Hara-Clark Williams-1943

Oops! My mistake. Thought this was another comic book sorcerer but it says right there he's not. In fact, it looks a lot like Bob Powell's Mr. Mystic but it's just plain old Hack O'Hara, back again. 

S-2 Strikes-Joe Kubert-1954

In the 1950s, EC Comics was known as the BEST when it came to horror comics, in spite of a very overcrowded field. I've long felt that Atlas deserves to be known as the best in the war comics field at that time. With about a dozen war titles published, they offered great, evocative covers, some pretty heavy stories, and some genuinely amazing art (by the likes of Heath, Maneely, Severin, Colan, and Romita). Here we even see the influential DC stalwart Joe Kubert, known ever after as THE war comics artist, in an early Atlas combat tale.

Vitamin Vic-Jack Farr-1946

You'll spot what appear to be several not so subtle drug references in this post-war kids' comic story drawn by the prolific and instantly recognizable Jack Farr.

The Phantom Falcon-Joey Cavallo-1946

The only info I have on the artist of this story is that he appears in THE ART OF GEORGE TUSKA as the catalyst of a story about Tuska and another artist. The other artist was punching Joey Cavallo and Tuska punched out the other artist.

Those Who Vanish-Gray Morrow-1956

Here's another little gem from Gray Morrow at Atlas. Morrow fans can find a lot more of his work at our Facebook group, SHADES OF GRAY (MORROW).

Eddie Extra-Jersey-1958

We ran one of these 4 years ago. I love this guy's cartooning. More creative with this backup strip than other artists were with the main strips in the Charlton books he was in. Couldn't track down any info on him, though. Anyone?

Bentley of Scotland Yard-Sam Cooper-1940

Another prolific Golden Age artist with no real ties, the character Sam Cooper might most be associated with would be MLJ's Mr. Justice.
