Back in the 1950s, Identity Theft was a very different thing...
Judo Joe had three real issues in 1953 with Dr. Barney Cosneck writing and Paul W. Stoddard supplying the artwork. It also had another single issue - one of those Revival comics - almost 35 years later. I've only seen the cover of the '80s revival, so i won't judge it. But the original Judo Joe was light and amusing. It's hard to picture an '80s reboot keeping this sort of tone...
Next time, we'll take a look at Joe's special gimmick...
