Hermit! / Clawfang The Barbarian

We've looked at Harvey's Unearthly Spectaculars before, with Bill Draut's Marvel superhero-in-waiting Jack Quick Frost, but there's other gems in this books' long-forgotten three issue run too. 

Like Wally Wood's Miracles Inc. AND Earthman, Mike Sekowsky's 3 Rocketeers, AND Gil Kane's Tiger Boy ( He's got the head of a boy and the body of a tiger! Aaargh! ) They're all on the way, panic not...

Before all that though, here's a couple of beauties written by Archie Goodwin & Wally Wood, and drawn by Reed Crandall and Al Williamson, so you're absolutely guaranteed a good time.

Hermit! is almost like a lost EC story, and Clawfang? He's not just called Claw. He's not just called Fang. He's called Clawfang, and is therefore THE most macho hero in the history of comics ever.

The defense rests, m'lud.

                                                                                                                                                                      

Flash Gordon Meets The Cragmen Of The Lost Continent

Here's fun, courtesy of Alan Class' seemingly endless series of Bronze Age reprint anthologies, this one being Amazing Stories Of Suspense. Though, as Alan didn't believe in continuity, could've equally appeared in any of his books. It also comes with, as was always the case in Class comics, printing that's rougher than a bulldog's tongue, but that will instantly transport you back to your summer holidays in the '70's. And by the way, these are All Astonishing Tales, which is good to know.
It's originally from the King Comics series, and is by Bill Pearson & Reed Crandall, though I spotted a few Wally Wood poses here and there, and it doesn't look like a full Crandall job, so who knows.
Regardless, let's join Flash, Dale & Dr. Zarkov as they embark on a walking tour of Mongo. Let the adventure begin...
