Entry# 10

Issue #3
Rating: 4


It took me countless times of looking to finally recognize Cliff Cornwell on the cover. The action is a recap of from the previous story in issue #2. The editors must have thought he was recognizable enough that they need not print his name on the cover.

Issue #3 features “The Romance of Cliff Cornwall” by Fox and Sheldon Moldoff. This strip starts to take the look and feel of the Hawkman stories that Fox\Moldoff will team up on in starting in the next issue and running up to issue #61.
Flash stars in “The Trial of Major Williams,” written by Gardner Fox, art by Everett E. Hibbard.

Hawkman in “The Secret of Dick Blendon” by Fox and Dennis Neville (more to follow).

“Johnny vs. Gunpowder Glantz” by John B. Wentworth and Stan Aschmeier;
King in “The Terror of the Underworld” by Fox and William A. Smith. Although the King starts off as a Clock clone, he will develop into one of my favorite characters when Harry Lampert begins drawing the strip.
“The Scarlet Scarab” Flash picture novelette by Ed Wheelan;

An ad for All-American Comics #12 pegs the newstand date to mid-January 1940
