Entry #9

Issue #2 Rating: 4

Recorded in December 1939, Will Osborne’s ‘The Man Who Comes Around’. (link courtesy of MusicProf78)

Incredibly the Flash story is not one of the stronger strips in this issue. The Hawkman story, “The Globe Conquerors”, is excellent. I also liked the Whip. Cliff Cornwell, Rod Rian, and the Johnny Thunder stories were ok. The “The Demon Dummy, Pt. 2” Flash Picture Novelette by Ed Wheelan was very bizarre and sets the tone for the run of the strip. Much more will be discussed and panels posted on these back up stories in later entries. The ad for All-American Comics #11 verifies that this issue was on the newsstands in December 1939.

The Flash hurls a rarely used lightning bolt . . .









“The Globe Conquerors” may have taken its inspiration from the Bombing of London.





New Weapons: Net and Trident



Death Count = 2
