Thanks for this scan, still can't help but see the brush of Bob Fujitane in the Cat Man and Reckoner strips, whatever the credits say. Maybe he inked Gregg's pencils?
   By
Fred Morgan. Not much information I could find about him. 'Pygmy Peril' one of the silliest things I have ever read. Monty Python does the Jungle Tale genre? Was he trying to see if the editor was actually reading his copy? Giant pygmys - who aren't giant, or pygmys - a giant white pygmy, who is a giant but not a pygmy or white. A giant pygmy elephant. Oh dear me. What drugs were freely available in the US in that period. Best Dialogue: -'look Betty, one o the smoked heads of the cannibals victims is white' 'Could it be the murdered explorer Brown? He always smoked.' 'And my cigarettes taste differently lately, too!' Dialogue two. Two 'Pygmys' raiding supplies. 'Oh, I say! look what I found! A case of Scotch!' 'Have a spot of scotch, old bean, excellent firewater really!' " Thanks dear boys! I could do with a wee drop!' I suspect there was more than a 'wee drop' being splashed about in Fred's studio.

I can see why you say that, K1ngcat, but I wonder if Gregg was simply closely imitating Fujitani. Two of the most Fuje-like faces (Cat-Man on our page 6, panel 1, and Kitten on page 8, panel 5) are direct swipes from the preceding issue (page 5, panel 5 and page 10, panel 3). I'm guessing they gave Gregg some of Fujitani's art and said, "Draw it like this."
   By
Panther, there's no way Morgan could have been passing this off as a straight adventure story. There's a gag every couple of panels ("You're asking for it! " BOOM! "I didn't ask for it. Did you?") all the way to the final panel: "Was this trip necessary?" was the American government's wartime slogan encouraging civilians to conserve gasoline and tire rubber. If you look at it that way, it's actually kind of funny.
   By
I just noticed--this issue is filed with the Holyoke Cat-Man when it should be in the Temerson / Helnit / Continental section. That character had a messed-up publication history.
   By
Good call on the Fuje swipe, crash, hadn't clocked that! Such a shame the run ended before we saw whether Dr Macabre survived, but it's great to finally see a good scan of this issue.
