The Adventure Continues...

Let us revisit yesterday's Supersnipe excerpts and see the story from which they came. We're still just on the second issue of Supersnipe, #7. (Ah, comics)


We open with Supersnipe on vigilant patrol...


But, soon enough, the two upon whom Supersnipe had been eavesdropping stir, and...


A brief, and bumbling, chase through the woods later, Supersnipe's luck & pluck leave him the victor...


Always eager to be recognized for the hero that he is, Koppy takes advantage of the situation, carefully keeping control...


Well, that worked out about as well as expected. But, on the up side, Supersnipe has found the kidnap victim!


While our young hero struggles with his new dilemma, the Fed and the Reporter have recruited the local Sheriff for back-up. "Uncle Toiks" and "Uncle Creeps" spot them coming and take off to avoid capture just before they arrive...


After their embarrassing escapades in the woods, our "Adults" decide a little payback fun is due, and quickly come up with a scheme...


This leads to a nice example of George Marcoux's use of the page in his layouts 75 years ago...


Rather surprisingly, despite "Chekov's Maxim", nobody steps on that rake when...


This would be the little trouble with bees mentioned yesterday, leading to Koppy's time in jail and Man Of 1955 fantasy sequence shown in yesterday's post. After his release from jail and a night's sleep, Koppy is annoyed and frustrated at the news coverage of his adventure...


But a new opportunity arises as he hears a series of terrible noises from outside, and Supersnipe is quickly back in action...


In following the lady in distress to rescue, Supersnipe leads to yesterday's other excerpt - with Doc Savage dropping down from above, and Koppy grabbing a shotgun wielded as a club, preventing Doc from being struck from behind while Supersnipe himself is flung into the driver's seat...


Supersnipe - The Boy With The Sorest Butt In America!

This was far from the last time other Street & Smith heroes would appear, of course...
