I love that map. I think it would be fun to collect maps associated with different fictional characters. This Little Orphan Annie map of Simmons Corners is one of the few I own. I love both of these maps... and although I'm a sci fi guy, the rendering on the Annie map is just a beautiful piece of illustration work. Really great colors on that one. Without a doubt. The burst pattern at the center of the Buck Rogers map is a mind-numbingly insane amount of work just to achieve an effect. There's always some thing jaw-dropping in this thread. Dang.

Major Hoople Comics #1 Thanks again for hosting another quiz BZ. They're a lot of fun. :hail: My first guess on that one was Real Life Comics. At least I had the right publisher Why is that not surprising? Dang dude. My first guesses were Tell it to the Marines and U.S. Marines in Action. It was a weird luck deal. I was actually looking at Major Hoople to try to find the cartoon flower cover.

Katy Keene 1? GCD's scan is a bit fuzzy.

Yeah man. (thumbs u It's easy to see why it's your favorite title. There's just so much great stuff to be found in those books... Eisner's Espionage , Gustavson's The Jester, Jim Mooney's (Jim Mooney?!) Wildfire, Nordling's Lady Luck, and arguably the greatest superhero art ever produced in Fine/Crandall/Fine's The Ray. Cole's early run on Midnight is really interesting. It has to be a transitional work. It looks like he's trying to figure out how to balance the realistic with the cartoony. He hasn't quite divorced himself from the foundation yet (Realism) so the work has an odd feel. But when he comes back to Midnight later in the title he's got it dialed in and he's firing on all cylinders. It's brilliant stuff. You guys are right on the money. Many of these "lesser" titles get overlooked, and happily, that makes them more affordable for us bottom feeding geeks. The interiors on quite a few GA second and third tier titles are simply fantastic. Without a doubt. (thumbs u That reminds me... I need to finish off my low grade reader run of Sam Hill Private Eye by Harry Lucey. That's another favorite.

That's a fantastic Cole page. (thumbs u It's a shame that DC never published a one volume Midnight collection after finishing the complete run of 'The Spirit' in Archive format. That would be a great companion piece to The Spirit. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It would be nice to have some complete Quality Comics Archives too.

Thanks for posting this honky cat. Great article.

Jack Cole's Midnight run from Smash Comics ( nos. 68-85) is, by far, one of my all-time favorites. (Thanks HP.) Smash Comics 77 Smash Comics 78
