Description

It's a hard knock life for Annie and Mac, nooses around their necks and abandoned by Bald Ego at their lowest, thanks to Mac's snide warning about mingling with "inferior" company. Bald Ego is a mystical, bald, loincloth-wearing monk who lives on a magical mountain, as one does. He is a sly master of black magic and a trickster who possesses the secret knowledge of invisibility. This storyline, which ran from October into December of 1969, is his introduction in the series.

After taking over in 1968, Tex Blaisdell kept Little Orphan Annie sharp and unsparing, and this strip pulls no punches. He worked on 22 syndicated features across his career, drawing Little Orphan Annie for five years, while also drawing for DC handling popular characters such as Green Lantern, Superman, the Flash, and Batman.

Having seen some of Blaisdel's other strips, his versatility can't be overstated. Great pick-up!

This is a 10 out of 10, or just 10/10...69. Bald Ego must have been an inspiration for a young Jeff Bezos!

Annie, get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're OK
Annie, strip’s a gas
Grab that cash as Orphan and make a stash

New art, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a Blaisdell team

Annie, get Mac
I'm alright, Mac, keep your hands off of my stack
Annie, strip's a hit
Ah, don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit

I'm in the high-fidelity first-class traveling set
And I think I need a Learjet

Annie, it's now time
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my line
Annie, so they say
Is the root of Bald Ego today
But if you ask for escape it's no surprise that they're shoving monk away

You know, I really disliked Blaisdell's inking over Curt Swan on Superman. But his work here is really nice!
