Clue Comics #1: The Boy King and the Giant

[alicemacher]

The other night, I was looking through the first issue of Clue Comics (Hillman Periodicals, Jan. 1943) for a particular story, when I found that all the stories caught my fancy to some extent or another. So because it's in the public domain, I'm gonna post the whole thing! (Minus the text story, ad pages, etc.) Over the next few days, wonder at the exploits of costumed crimefighters Nightmare and Sleepy, the bumbling but patriotic Stupid Manny, the high-tech (for the 40s) masked avengers Micro-Face and Zippo, the plucky Boy Rangers, and the proto-furry superhero Twilight!

But that's not all! Because all of the above features lasted five issues (and a few lasted longer), when I'm done with Issue #1, you get to vote on which feature you'd like to see more posts of. Ain't that swell? Yes.


"The Boy King and the Giant" is the creation of Charles Biro and Bob Wood (script), Alan Mandel (pencils) and Dan Barry. Scans, as with all the stories in this issue, are courtesy of ComicBookPlus.com.
































Next up: "Checking the Checker," starring Nightmare and Speedy.

That was AWESOME!

It's like a WWII precursor of Tetsujin 28-go or Giant Robo with a nod to Ray Harryhausen's later work en route

Though as they're somewhere in Europe, and they wanted to go somewhere to fight Nazi's, you'd have thought they MIGHT have thought about not wandering quite so far and eading towards Britain.
