| Very wacky, especially the "Flip Falcon" in the Fourth Dimension (where he meets a naked Lucifer) and of course everyone's favourite, Stardust by Fletcher Hanks. A good example of the mania for alliterative comic character names: Flip Falcon, Sub Saunders, and Space Smith all appear in this one, and Fox also gave us Blast Bennett, Cosmic Carson, Perisphere Payne, Spark Stevens, and probably more. |

| Thank you. builderboy, for the upgrade on this awesome book! |
|
| In the Sampson story, almost every page has the speech balloons in the wrong order! That's a mistake later comic book artists were careful to avoid making! |
