They're hardly all good, but therein lies the fun. I love oddball superheroes like the bizarre Bouncer, the Puppeteer, the Purple Tigress (who had 3 boyfriends and only 2 appearances) and the Green Mask (which one of the few well-drawn features. And the haphazard mediocrity of the humor and funny animal material is kind of the point -- they're practically unintentional underground comix, especially the rather amazing Pussy Katnip.

Having considered All Good and All Great comics, I’m now looking forward to All Outstanding and All Superlative comics. Mind you, there can be no argument against so many pages for such an apparently modest price. Great opening page on the Bouncer with distressed blonde in red dress (I’m colour blind). Bizarre, yet somehow captivating, tale of a saltating cross-dressed hero, a forgetful mesmerist and a corneal eye transplant (don’t try this at home folks) – what’s not to like?! I skipped on to the Puppeteer with distressed blonde in green dress. Our hero places an unknown tracking device in Myra’s puppet (isn’t that illegal?). There’s a bleeding statue and a talking raven – if that pulls your strings, go for it. I skipped the funnies to reach the better drawn Betty Boyd by ‘Al Jones’. Feisty reporter, Betty, is on the track of Mr Big in Nevada. Will she find him her underworld untermensch underground? ‘Betty Brown’s’ the Purple Tigress (blonde in a purply stripey bikini thang) caught my attention. As she seeks to ensnare a gang of jewel thieves, she retains her most snarling comments for her admirers. Last time I saw a purple tigress was after downing half a bottle of Putinska vodka in a Moscow dive at New Year’s – don't think she was real, unless tails were in that year - ah, such memories of my youth. Suddenly, a well-drawn strip pops up out of nowhere – Frank Godwin’s Adventures of Connie. Jim & Connie travel back in time to rescue Jim’s sister where they meet up with a WC Fields-type character. Only thing is, it ends quite suddenly and I don’t think I understood it – where did the radio come from? Help, anyone? Thanks for picking this out Crash/Panther!
