One Panel #135-137: Things We Would See in the Future

From Zatara: "The Gorilla King" by Gardner Fox and Frank Guardineer, Action Comics #19 (December 1939)

Maybe I'm in a New Year kind of mood, but this week we look to the future... through the prism of the past. Like this Zatara story that shows Earth-2's Gorilla City! No joke! It started long before those Silver Age Flash comics! Did Gardner Fox have a conversation with John Broome?

From The Sandman: "The Sandman Meets the Face" by Gardner Fox, Craig Flessel and Frank Guardineer, Adventure Comics #44  (November 1939)
Faced with your own reflection in a lake, destroy that "Face" with a well-thrown rock! Okay. That's now what's happening. But the Face WOULD return in the modern era to face Wesley Dodd in Matt Wagner's Sandman Mystery Theatre! He would last a little longer than 6 pages that time.

From John Law, Scientective: "The Mystery Mile" by Harry Campbell, Smash Comics #5 (December 1939)
Oops! Nope! We STILL don't have flying cars. Unless John Law foresaw Blade Runner...
