   By Morbiose
I think the "young man" grinning in the 4th panel with the wavy hair and smattering of freckles is intended to be Van Johnson, not Red Skelton.
   By crashryan
I love Lee Elias' work on this series. He never scrimps on backgrounds or crowd scenes...witness page 5, last panel, in which every audience member has an individual personality.
   By Dick Morriale
The first comment is 100% right. That's Van Johnson. Bye the way, I remember buying this series when they first came out. In fact, I even recall purchasing Pocket Comics, probably #1, at a Five and Ten cents store(Woolworth's?), where we first get to see The Black Cat. It's great to get to see it all again, on this wonderful treasure trove of Comic Book Plus. Blessings Be Upon You. May you go on forever.
