Super Baby-Krazy-1943

Unlike a certain other Superbaby, this cute li'l fella has a much better vocabulary and grasp of grammar. 

The Werewolf Hunter-Lily Renee-1944

Some lovely work here by pioneering female artist Lily Renee, herself the fascinating subject of a relatively recent graphic novel by historian Trina Robbins. 

The Wizard and the Shield-Edd Ashe-1940

Most of their interactions occurred on the covers of their shared comic, SHIELD-WIZARD COMICS, but here we see an early team-up--very early!--of superheroes in an adventure,.

My Little Margie's Boyfriends-Chic Stone (?)-1957

A spinoff of a comic book based on a TV series here spoofs another TV series and its star, Liberace, a surprising sex symbol to women across the country back in the late 1950s. The thick lines make the art here look like Stone to my eyes and he did work on the comic but he usually signed his work for it. Frank Johnson did some also but again, his name appeared with it. This may well be someone else entirely but I'd guess Stone.

Wacky Willy and the Mad Monster-1943

Although from 1943 and most likely "inspired" by Goofy and Disney cartoons in general, this story reminds me of a comic book Tex Avery cartoon from his MGM period a few years later.

Tales from the Witch's Cauldron-J.S. Phillips-1941

A very early horror story and from a very unlikely source--MLJ--the company that will be Archie! This one is also notable for having one of the greatest out of context panels ever in comics. See below. For S. DeStefano!

The Devil's Day Off-Joe Maneely-1953

The late, great Joe Maneely returns to our stage now with this short but detailed little ditty (which reads like it could have gone on much longer) in which the anti-communism fervor of the 1950s bleeds over into the horror genre.
