Celebrating Artist George Pratt

Celebrating the birthday of artist George Pratt (October 13, 1960) with a couple of his covers for the Impact! line (an experiment of DC's focusing on the Archie super heroes of earlier days...), with a couple of the annuals from June, 1992 featuring the Black Hood, the Comet, the Legend Of The Shield, the Fly, Jaguar and The Web during the EarthQuest crossover.

Strange Adventures Of The Astro Heads

Ever had a day where you have a headache that makes your head feel larger than the moon?


Well, there were a few men in the pages of Strange Adventures who had even worse days than that!

The Man With The Head Of Saturn

Bill Smathers was the man having a strange day in Strange Adventures #156 (September, 1963) under a cover by Murphy Anderson, with a story by Gardner Fox and Sid Greene.


A globe appeared on the head of a scientist, Professtor Bill Smithers, and then teleported him and some of his Korean War Veteran friends to Saturn, so that they could fight in an interplanetary war at the behest of Kandare Ohl, who came up with the device that brought them to the ringed planet.


Better still, the back up story in this issue was a tale of the Atomic Knights!

The Man With The Comet Head

Alton Wright was the star of the cover story of Strange Adventures #200 (May, 1967), with that cover provided by Carmine Infantino and George Roussos, and story by Otto Binder and Jack Sparling.


This time it was an astronomer, Alton Wright, who was bombarded by strange rays from a comet from outer space that turned his head into a comet.


This issue also contained the third of three stories which featured the Enchantress (before she joined the Suicide Squad)!
