| The wax figures in the Captain Marvel Jr. story are interesting: Peter Costo (a wax figure); Sir Clarence Beck (a wax figure); Irwin Wile (a wax figure). Peter Costo=Peter Costanza? Sir Clarence Beck = C C Beck?
Irwin Wile = Irwin Hasen? don't think he worked for Fawcett though. |
|
| Before he gets his own feature in Master Comics, Capt. Marvel Jnr now crosses over into a Bulletman tale. Another landmark issue. Mac Raboy excels as an action artist in this early period of comic art. |
