One Panel #85-87: The Golden Age Was Weird

From Zatara: "The Indian Prince" by Gardner Fox and Fred Guardineer, Action Comics #8 (January 1939)

Once again, Zatara takes the spotlight away from Superman thanks to Guardineer's knack for imaginative, off-beat illustrations. It's the tiny top hat and turban that do it, of course.

From Anchors Aweigh: "El Diablo: Part 7" by Fred Guardineer, Adventure Comics #34 (January 1939)

Here's more Guardineer art as his strip's hero throws a South American native against a thorn tree! Well, where did you think thorns came from? That's one dangerous harvest!

From Slam Bradley: "In Two Billion A.D. (Part I)" by Siegel & Shuster, Detective Comics #23 (January 1939)

And then there was the time private dick Slam Bradley... went two billion years into the future and met a pumpkin man???! Truly, the Golden Age was weird.
