Last week we saw one of the most unusual superhero characters of all time, The Eye, from Frank Thomas.
As you may recall, yesterday we were on our way to visit Camp Comics when we got distracted en route.
Once we did finally arrive at Camp, much to our delight did we find another very odd superhero creation from Mr. Thomas. Meet Hank And Lank -
Hank and Lank not only appeared in all three issues of Camp Comics, they appeared in about 3 dozen more comics in short (0.5-1 page) tales. Only, they weren't themselves any more after the original trilogy.
Not even when Harvey Kurtzman was drawing them.
BTW - there are plenty of reasons for us to dig deeper into those three issues, like Dave Berg...
...not just more Hank and Lank.
