No one wrote action comic strips as well as Roy Crane. There are no wasted panels, the action flows naturally and without ever stalling, no unnessesary filler material, and great dialogue. In addition, he had a great cast of supporting (and co-starring) characters. And his art perfectly matched his stories.
