another panel from baffling mysteries. this time from issue 18 published in 1953 from the story "12 hours to doom" art by Lou Cameron not sure who wrote it.
Hi Andy, I'm following your posts as I too collect comics. This panel is very reminiscent of some classical works in it's composition of the supreme being don't you think? I am actually in the process of opening an online comic shop to sell my excess and anything else I buy, I have a vintage book shop too. Keep posting, I am posting my books and comics also. Cheers Ursula http://www.usedbooks-online.com http://www.usedcomics-online.com (opening soon)
Hey Andy. I've just started following you... Mostly the comic books I have read were hovering on repetitive subjects - i.e. superheroes clad in belted underwear costumes, japanese manga, and of course, who will say pass to Frank Miller's novels?
But frankly, this kind of obscurity on these comics tops them all. It keeps comics on the ground of entertainment and wild creativity. No one in this era can be brave enough, imaginative or grotesque even to make these panels. I can never get bored with this stuff. I especially took a liking to the Vengeance of the Tiger Queen. Makes me wanna read the whole thing.
going through your blog reminds me of my childhood when i issued comics from this old library.i could recall the odor of those comics as i browsed through your blog. raveesh reddy reddyraveesh.blogspot.com
Hey, Andy! It's Anthony, Tommy Kovac's husband. Yep, after 18 years together we finally tied-the-knot last October! Anyway, groovy blog ya got there! It's great that you're spotlighting these comics that would otherwise slip into complete obscurity. And every creation has SOME redeeming quality to it, right? Even if it can only fetch a measly dollar...
the dollar bin will eventually be the blog of the podcast i hope to make which will review weird obscure small print comics that i've found in dollar bins at comic stores around the country. Thats not to say it will be limited to just that but will most likely include reviews of books and movies i like as well as other pop culture stuff.
