| Most successful cartoonists have “ghost artists” — mighty Mike
B’WANA BEAST) Sekowsky had himself a genie! (No wonder he
was so prolific!) SURPRISE ADVENTURES doesn’t even begin
to describe this Oddball Comic -- which also features a story
drawn by the man behind the infamous “Split!” version of CAPTAIN
MARVEL! (And what is its connection to the LI’L ABNER comic
strip?)

| Here come STOP AND GO, THE SAFETY TWINS, a duo of demented-looking do-gooders who present stories of "play time safety" on behalf of a chain of department stores! Just don’t read this Oddball Comic while crossing the street -- or your body might wind up crushed even flatter than those of the Safety Twins! |

| Move over, Lash LaRue! Who "delivers a powerful sermon and packs a mighty punch"? Why, it’s John Hawk, AKA SKYPILOT, "the fighting missionary of the far North", that’s who! You won’t believe your eyes when this whip-wielding preacher locks horns with evil lumber pirates and other ODDBALL menaces of the North Woods! Face it, SKYPILOT is cooler than an Eskimo Pie! |

(Note: This article was originally posted on June 5, 2006.) Commentary by ODDBALL COMICS curator/creator SCOTT SHAW! — For decades, folks have speculated about the sexuality of Batman! Finally, here’s an Oddball Comic that hints at an answer to that burning question! Don’t miss this flamboyant issue of DETECTIVE COMICS, featuring "The Rainbow Batman!" (Plus, tune into "Roy Raymond, TV Detective"! And no, he’s not a cross-dressing sleuth…but this is an unintentionally television-themed issue!) It’s frankly Bat-fabulous! |

| Which ODDBALL COMIC published a character called “Zappy The Hippy” in the late 1960s? Not only wasn’t it one of those “underground comix”; would you believe it was published by Archie Comics? Well, here’s proof, an issue of ARCHIE’S MADHOUSE that also features one of the publisher’s only Silver Age superheroes that’s never been re-launched, Captain Sprocket! (But what is classic illustrator Norman Rockwell doing in this Archie Comic?) |

ODDBALL COMICS has already met Marvel’s mighty monkey-monster a few years back in an early issue of TALES TO ASTONISH! Now -- a few issues later and courtesy of Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers -- here comes “Gorgilla Strikes Again!” Yep, the big ape finally gets his very own sequel and winds up climbing the Statue Of Liberty! Plus, Steve Ditko’s “Monsteroso!” and “Robot On The Rampage!” (But what the heck is the Lone Ranger doing in this fearful funnybook?)

| There have been a lot of funny animal heroes over the years, from “Mighty Mouse” to the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” -- and beyond! Now, here’s the first issue of 1953’s ANIMAL ADVENTURES, which brings us such ODDBALL critter-crusaders as “King Karrot, The Royal Rabbit”, “Tobias Turtle”, “Soopermutt” and “Orsen Buggy, The Mad Genius”! Plus, the super-scientific secrets of “Dry-Tabs” and the “Vacutex” device revealed! What can we say, but “Woof!”? |

| Yee-haw, it’s HEE HAW, an “eggs-ceptional” funnybook that attempts to adapt the classic country western musical comedy television of the 1970s! See cartoon versions of Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Junior Samples, Grandpa Jones, Lulu Roman and all the other hillbilly stars of America’s corniest cornpone TV series…with artwork by everyone’s favorite ODDBALL COMICS cartoonist, Tony Tallarico! But what is HEE HAW’s mysterious connection to Alvin And The Chipmunks and the Lone Ranger? |
