That issue of Brain Boy was a distinct surprise: much more violent and mature than I expected!

I laughed when Brainboy entered the "secret headquarters" for the first time, by opening the door with his mind, and then flying up the stairs. And who in their right mind would like being called Brainboy? Overall a good read.

Brain Boy,excellent comic book for its time. Also fairly interesting Gil Kane artwork.

There's no Comics Code Authority seal on the cover, and the content clearly violates the code (Brain Boy forcing a would-be assassin to blow his own brains out!). I had no idea Dell published non-Code comics! Was this in a larger "magazine" format? Why did this get distributed while no distributor would touch Kane's "His Name Is...Savage!" Was it a matter of degree? (Admittedly, Savage was a lot more, well, *savage*.) Now I'm interested in what other non-code comics Dell may have put out at this time.
