[habib]

Round #1

OK.......here we go!

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b125/kammion/mystr40.jpg

Name the mystery comic!

[stupidman]

This is going to be my answer when I don't know the cover: "Some gay Superman cover".
You've been warned http://atypically.net/smilies/angryrazz.gif

[rowand]

So let's literally, "Run it up the flagpole, and see who salutes (first)!"

Oh, sure! A guy slips into some tights (that really shows his package off to his advantage) and a cape in an outfit all done up in tasteful primary colors and right away, "He's GAY!" Well, at least I don't live in a cave or have a sidekick who always cries out, "To the Batpole!"!

Anybody seen my longtime "Constant Companion" and Pal? I have a new watch for him that will co-ordinate so perfectly with his darling bowtie and that delightful plaid coat! Don't you just adore red hair? Lana who?

Is this is one of the Educational Comics that taught us 50's morality?

Speed Comics #26

[jaeldubyoo]

This was a tough one. I spent nearly two hours looking. Luckily I found out who the character was, Captain Freedom, and it was easy from that point.

Habib, do you own any of those Golden Age books? Some of them are really obscure. It would be cool to own some.

[slucas76]

Captain dang Freedom.

I was barking up the S.S.K. tree, too, mg, for about the same amount of time as was jael.

Shoot.

[marvelguy]

Captain dang Freedom.

I was barking up the S.S.K. tree, too, mg, for about the same amount of time as was jael.

Yep, I got bamboozled when the head piece is the wrong color. Afterwards, I didn't have a clue.

No, I don't own any of these at present. I have owned several of the early Speed Comics though. Sold 'em on ebay!

I knew that one, but by the time I signed on and saw it, it was too late. You're too quick, MG. I had to pick up my daughter at preschool. If you're one minute late it'll cost you $25.00 and $25.00 every 15 minutes thereafter. Sheesh!
