The Complete Barney Brainstorm

As noted once again in recent days, i have a fondness for Boy Inventor/Genius comics. One such character comes to us from Larry Harris and the pages of Top-Notch Laugh Comics back in 1944. Barney Brainstorm was bit older looking than the average comic book boy inventor, so perhaps he's got less time in the role than most.

Let's take a look, eh?



...and that's it. Every episode of Barney Brainstorm ever published. 

Five years later, "Brainstorm" Barney came along...


...but he's hardly a boy, though possibly classified as inventive.
