WTF? Comics From The Past



The Golden Age was not as golden as you would think. Found these two examples of characters that really didn't catch on like the publishers hoped. What could have possibly been the problem? Oh maybe it's that Hip Knox (?) wore his granny's toaster cosy on his head and SLEPT in his costume. Snowman was just a stupid idea. He wielded a tomahawk like all snowmen do or did and for some reason was super strong. Ugh. Once again Pappy's Golden Age Comic Blogzine comes through for us all. I cannot believe that Snowman was co-created by Frank Frazetta, yes, THE Frank Frazetta. Clink on the link to see the entire story in all its jaw dropping glory.

Odd stuff, indeed. Even funnier is to take Golden Age comic panels out of context!
