So...
I wrote up this morning's post and put it in the queue last night.
This morning Happy Houligans #1 and Animal Fables #7 arrived.
Those two statements might seem unrelated, but there is a direct connection.
EC was pretty proud of this new character they created with Moon Girl. In their advertisements, they referred to "This Amazing New Magazine Destined To Make Comic History!"
They thought they had something here, and they wanted to make sure it got seen. And so, her first tale also appeared in Animal Fables and Happy Houligans. (And International Crime Patrol #6? I haven't found that issue as yet, so i don't know if it's a new tale or another presentation of her origin story.)
This is particularly nice for us. You see, i'd only been able to work with library microfiche copies of some of those early Moon Girl issues, including the first. So now we have a better quality page to work with than that which we used for the original post.
That being the case, let's take a better look at that first story. Here is the 8 page tale in its entirety, as it appeared in Happy Houligans #1:
Moon Girl by Bill Woolfolk and Sheldon Moldoff from Happy Houligans #1 (1947)
