PEP COMICS #10
(On Newsstands in October 1940)

Man, if only some of the interior art could be as good as some of these covers...

The Shield had to 'shield' his eyes on occasion to get to a bad guy!

Mort Meskin continued to im'press' with his Press Guardian strip... square jawed heroes, creepy bad guys and sexy dames in distress!

Joe Blair and Sam Cooper's Bentley of Scotland Yard deserves some credit... for being the last feature in the book they came up with some really off beat bad guys!

TOP NOTCH COMICS #10
(On Newsstands in October 1940)

Al Camy's cover puts Black Hood and the Skull right up in our faces... this had to be quite a sight on the stands back in October of 1940!

He did a great job of keeping it good and moody on the inside to... to keep readers hanging around!

BLUE RIBBON COMICS #8
(On Newsstands in October 1940)

I don't think they ever had Rang-A-Tang ever face off against any aliens, but it made for a great cover!

Mort Meskin brought his sensibilities to Hercules as well!
