Back in 1941, Fox Features Syndicate combined their three biggest characters, Blue Beetle, Sampson and the Flame in a title called...well, uh..."Big 3".
Here's Dan Garret's adventure from "Big 3" #1, by Charles Nicholas*
*I've said before, but it's worth mentioning again...”Charles Nicholas” is actually a pseudonym used by 3 creators while working on “Blue Beetle” at Fox Features Syndicate…Chuck Cuidera, Charles Wojtkoski, and Jack Kirby
Gotta say, those 3 don't really pull me in...they're no Captain America, Human Torch &Sub-Mariner!
ReplyDeleteI think there's a certain charm to the old Dan Garret strips, but I don't know enough about Samson or the Flame, or their stories, to judge them. That said...i've got to admit, this cover image doesnt exactly scream "excitement".
