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 also curious about that - it'd be interesting to see how an artist who can, y'know, DRAW properly would handle the character.

It's a decently drawn story. As for the plot, well, Allard seemed to have missed the fact that Stardust was a sadistic psychopath and depicted him as a sort of generic Superman-eque character.

It's often difficult to pick up the pace when you're writing a character whose creator was, eh, decidedly eccentric. Wonder Woman had the same problem after Marston died.
