| ACK shually, Otto Shickler was introduced in Hit Comics #11. |
|
| Couple of great pseud enums used here,
The Red Bee by Toni Blum [as B. H. Apiary] and my favourite, [might use it myself sometime]
'The Canadian Convoy' by 'Ace N. Hoel'
All up, a good issue of the book. |
|
| Reed Crandall is obviously the star here, but I love the over produced inking on all the features, even the amateurish ones. Sort of reminds me of Art Adams / Whilce Portaticio's Longshot series. (my only frame of reference for such comics). |
