What a great piece of history here. I love your mention of how the changed the title to not be so confrontational. They should have kept it, but that's just me. Thanks for posting this

Yes.. This is one to be proud to have. You see the talent and the work that he put into his art. He always has been one of my favorite artists and this is a great piece of evidence on Kane's brilliance. Even his practice sketches rock.

This is why I love looking at the new art postings on CAF, to discover new work. I know Newton and have always  loved his DC work, but I didn't know of this early  work. This is amazing and so mature. It has great  storytelling and now I will no doubt deep dive into this work. Thanks for posting this.

I almost misread and thought that girl's going to find out he's a fish once she kisses him.

I wouldn't have put it past Elliot Caplan (the writer)  to have  made  him a fish.

Fun uses of the cape!   Forms a pyramid in the right image.  This probably gets folded and the right sided image is used for a front cover with that title.  

Yup. It is folded and the image with the title is the front cover. I love the DIY zine attitude of it

I love the fact that he put in so much work and detail for him to work through for a simple 12 page mini that he has no intention to sell. He is putting the work in for freebies and I love that.

This is a  great sketch of Santo. I have been on a kick to watch as many of his films that I can before my head explodes. The only time he showed his fact in public was on a talk show. Ten days later, he was dead.

Having just posted a page myself from this 1980s classic, I can tell you that the art is by Dan DeCarlo AND Jim DeCarlo.  Who did what?  It doesn't matter, because together they created magic!

Thanks for the confirmation for the artists.you are right in thought it doesnt matter who did what. The end result is the important part. And rhese pages are so much fun

Classic open panel that breaks up the dialogue and visual pattern with a comedic pause just before the punchline.

You nailed it as you always do Marcus. The silent third panel is such a classic in the form. Peanuts did it all the time. In fact, the cartoonist, Mike Lynch had a feature of only the 3rd silent panel of Peanuts strips. It was amazing to see so many examples isolated from the other parts of the strip.

I loved those Atari Force mini comics. I didn't have an Atari so I had to finagle getting them from friends who did have and got those games that had the books. And to get Gil Kane art out of it, so wonderful.
