In Which Stardust Gets a...Girlfriend?

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

Oh, you lucky people. I got myself a disc of scans of some golden age comics, and they're public domain(please note, mods). Including this one. This is from FANTASTIC COMICS #12, from 1940, and of course this is Fletcher Hanks' STARDUST. And this time around, he actually manages to be more disturbing than ever.



Is it just me that thinks these look more like pigeons?



Yes it's Cardboard Girl, whose power is not moving one bit.

"She'll make fantastic bait!" says Stardust.

There's a lot more in this comic, including some strips even more bizarre than Stardust.(and almost all of them have shirtless heroes) Want more?

"I'm terribly upset and scared!"

Uh... huh. Well, she certainly looks it.

Facial expressions were not Hanks's forte, to say the least. They scarcely changed from panel to panel. Perhaps, like his frequent use of silhouette, that was a time-saving measure; he handled all the writing, pencilling, inking and lettering himself and, according to Will Eisner (one of several editors he submitted to), always got his work in on time. Or maybe he just didn't care.
