Even given the fact that Golden Age comics covered a wide variety of genres, I'm surprised that such an off-the-wall character as The Barker lasted so long. 32 issues cover-featured in National Comics and 15 issues of his own magazine. It's also interesting that his National covers were for the most part low-key symbolic images (e.g. a clown carrying balloons with the cast's faces on them). Quality often used simple, rather quiet cover images, which probably stood out on shelves full of garish action-packed covers. The Barker took that trend to the extreme. I'd think his covers wouldn't have pulled in new readers, but with that 47-issue run I guess I'm wrong.

I suspect that they didn't buy the book specifically to read 'The Barker'. This was an anthology book, like 'Walt Disney Comics and Stories' and like that book, you didn't buy it for any one story, but for the variety of stories. Also the quality of a 'Quality' book was much higher than the average and didn't disappoint.

So Jack Cole's super-speedster Quicksilver now has to borrow a horse to follow the villains? How are the mighty fallen. Looks like he needs three Weetabix!!
