Incredible! A 32-page comic drawn in its entirety by the legendary Schomburg... AND of all the things he could have chosen to devote his time to lavish his attention on, he picked THIS. Not some science-fantasy or jungle girl adventure, but THIS...!

Jerry... had some strange ideas. His work at times is so phantasmagorical and has this strange, dreamlike hallucinatory quality to it ... an "anything can happen" quality (I'm thinking of some of his mid-60s post-Superman work here). One thing you can say at least, is that he realized that a true creator (as opposed to an imitator of trends) absolutely needed to "think outside the box" -- after all, it was exactly that kind of thinking that allowed him to come up with Superman. Sometimes though, as with JON JUAN and FUNNYMAN, it just didn't work.
