Slick Dick or Spacey Tracy

Some days, like some parodies, are odder than others. Today's a bit of both.

What do you get when "Dick Tracy" and "Superman" cruise around enjoying "Fearless Fosdick"?

Let's find out...

Eh?

SM Adventures

Some may recall that when we saw Super Pup not too long ago, i made these remarks:

Oddly enough, we came to Super Pup looking for the other side of the Cat.
In theory, we'll get there soon...

This is the guy we were talking about -

Of course, it was no surprise to find the Mouse in the Pup's book - they're both drawn by Frank Carin. Space Mouse actually got his own title the previous year. It was the '50s, so i'll comment on the ginchy use of Electronic Eyes in this one...

Actually, eyes seemed to be something of a subtle theme in this issue...
 

But i have no answer.

Maybe we'll find one when we return with more mouse, and more mice...

Covering Early Ditko

Oops.

We forgot a post, even though i mentioned it while we were indulging in Ditko this week. Previously i said we'd get a collection of Ditko covers from Amazing Adult Fantasy and the earlier titles which we were perusing, so here they are - 23 covers from Steve Ditko's rising days in the mid-50s and early-60s...

Okay...   Now we'll move along from Ditko for a while.

Tomorrow i believe we'll visit with Stanley & Edwin!(?) See you then.
