Nothing Happens to Halloran-John Forte-1958

Here's a fun little Twilight Zone-style tale of the type that ACG was known for. The artist here is John Forte, a rather stiff but easily recognizable artist probably best remembered today for his work on DC's TALES OF THE BIZARRO WORLD and early LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES stories.

Francistein-Madhouse-1975

I don't think this is Dan DeCarlo but since everything at Archie in the 1970s was done in a Dan DeCarlo style, it's tough to call. Al Hartley, maybe? One thing's for certain and that's that it was written by a man who was not a fan of Women's Lib. I'd guess George Gladir.

Dirinda-Sweet Sixteen-1948

This art style looks oddly familiar but I can't quite place it. Dave Breger-esque but I don't think it's him. 

Bringin' Up Mamma-Norman Maurer-1954

I really wish Norman Maurer had been a contributor to MAD. His Three Stooges stories show he could handle that manic style but then "filler" like this looks for all the world like EC spoofery!

Some trivial if nicely drawn sci-fi nonsense form the great Gardner Fox, easily one of the top five comics writers of the forties, fifties and sixties! Fox was also quite prolific, writing novels in a number of genres (including romances!) while churning out thought-provoking comics, mainly for DC.

The Black Hood-Everett Raymond Kinstler-1945

Here we have likely the most attractive superhero story ever published by MLJ, with absolutely gorgeous illustrations by future presidential portrait painter Everett Raymond Kinstler.

Invisible Justice-Art Pinajian-1940

The Invisible Hood against the Green Ghost. Sort of The Shadow vs the Green Lama.
