| I didn't expect to see Carol Ferris in a Dollman story. Definitely Gil Kane art in the Noose story! |
|
| Ah, the "villain discovers hero's identity" plot. A classic, though often a bit predictable. |
|
| Fun to see Gil Kane while he was still developing his style. Even has a couple early "up the nose" shots. Doll man must have been asleep in the first story not to recognize bald, paunchy Editor Chalfonte behind that domino mask. |
|
| I’m sure Kane was familiar with drawing that hairstyle he drew for Martha here before drawing it for Carol over at DC. |
|
| Leaving aside the racial slurs, Torchy was fun! |
