The Flash and the Hawkman are really starting to define their personalities by this issue. Flash, an altruistic defender of justice, is more personable with the citizens.
The Flash, through a slightly skewed prism, could be Keystone Cities Superman. The counter balance, Superman\Batman Flash\Hawkman is taking shape nicely.
The Hawkman is darker and his good deeds are less known amongst the public at large. The Hawkman stories read like they could be altered slightly and become a Dark Knight adventure.
Gardner Fox is credited for writing the Batman stories in Detective Comics #29 - 32. "The Batman Meets Doctor Death", "The Return of Doctor Death" , "Batman vs. the Vampire, Part 1 and 2"
Sheldon Moldoff for Backgrounds and Lettering on #30 - 34.
The Witch returns, again, to square off with the King.
I have yet to comment in detail about the other strips in these early issues. They are very good. The early Whip Johnny Thunder, and Minute Movie strips are very wordy and leave little room for art.
The house ad on the last page has a 1/2 page for All-Star Comics #1. The bottom half features a thumbnail image of Batman #1 – ‘Now On Sale’.
