BW's "Yesterday's" Comic> Blue Beetle #4

Wrong bug-themed hero, Dan! The Blue Beetle #4 Fox Features Publications (Fall, 1940) Well, so much for being easier. Before the break we got a comic that was just Blue Beetle and only a few stories. Now we’re back in anthology mode, with reprints from the comic strips just to add to the page count. That means more comics to read in a row, but it also means I have to review them all and that’s a…

The JVJ Archive appears…

BW's "Yesterday's" Comic> Wonderworld Comics #4

Featuring characters not in this book and a story that never happens. Wonderworld Comics #4 Fox Features Syndicate (August, 1939) After missing a few Saturdays for holiday or illness it’s time to get back to this anthology.
