Probably should post the follow-up issue of DMC (this is the Recil Macon ped. copy). #8 was also the last issue of Daring Mystery Comics. There would be a brief Daring Comics series featuring Timely's top tier characters), but as a try-out book, the series ended here. #8 also has the honor of being the last cover produced by Jack Kirby for Timely...  |

One of the coolest Timely war covers, Mystic Comics #7 has all the right stuff to make it a classic: bondage & torture, Hitler, a cobweb covered skeleton, a multi-armed knife wielding idol, and a Pandora's Box full of demons with the mighty Destroyer ready to open up a big can of whoop-ass...  CBCS (9.2) |

No one seems to be rooting for the HITs, even with three men on base and more strong hitters waiting in the dugout.  But I don't give up easily. Here are several more tasty books emphasizing Quaity...    All Lou fine or partially Lou Fine & Reed Crandall. Reed would take over the cover chores with HIT #18, making his own splash. |

Bigger than life characters. When battling the Axis, Timely heroes rarely kept things in perspective. The enemy's stature was often diminished in size to reflect the pettiness of their ambitions!  . |

| Carrying forward the idea of supersized superheroes, in this Timely tour de force created by Alex Schomburg there's even a cool remote controlled robot, also oversized. Human Torch #23 pretty much has it all: angry robot doing mayhem, mad scientists bent on destruction, planes & trolley cars squashed, ...you name it, it's probably in that illustration somewhere! One of my favorite non-war themed Schomburg covers of the era...  . |

Continuing my earlier theme of covers featuring supersized heroes, we come to Captain America #57, with Cap & Bucky towering over small time criminals (emphasis on small)...  . |
