Mort Meskin's Tomboy is great. Almost a generic example of how to do a golden age character. |

This stuff is gold! Sekoswki's style is at my favorite moment here. Captain Flash is such a random and camp character which i also love, and Meskin's Tomboy is pretty much a precursor of Hit-Girl! Also always wonderful art from Mort :-D |

This dude could have had a great career as a professional wrestler. |
