| How strange that the little girl in the lead story is drawn without eyeballs. Usually that was only done to show a character was blind, but the girl can see. She looks downright spooky. |
|
| To ME, ALL the characters in that story look blind, except in the two extreme close-ups, where eye balls are drawn. |
|
| The first page in the "Typhoon Tyson" story is missing (should be between pages 34 and 35 of the scan). |
|
| The comic is decent enough but afew of the stories fall very flat Paul Revere Jr was sleep inducing then typhoon tyson was mildly entertaining. I loved Captain Courageous for what it was. Lone warrior was pretty good. Then Kay McKay was weirdly one of my favorites. |
|
| pages 33, 34 are missing. |
|
| It seems a little strange that the Lone Warrior is the only hero in the book that is not alone. He has a sidekick! |
