| Pretty undistinguished overall, but the last story has lots of good-girl art. |

| Respectfully beg to differ. What I like about the 'Latest Comics' section is that it alerts me to things I'm not aware of. I'll be having a closer look at this title. The cover here is excellent. There is also a non-Charlton Pete Morosi story here which is excellent. Always wondered what his work would look like when not lumbered with Charlton's production values. GCD has little information on the creators unfortunately. The two-pager , ' Dear Mary' is top class, could be Al Williamson, don't know if its too early for him, its in that class anyway.
The last story 'Stars fell on Arizona.' is interesting for several reasons. It's narrated in the first person ( like a private eye story) - The drawings are all action, which is great, and the ending is unexpectedly low-key. |
