Heroes vs Dinosaurs DOC SAVAGE "Blind Flight"

 Last Week We Presented the Man of Steel  vs Dinosaurs...

...now we conclude our month-long look at superheroes battling dinosaurs with a never-reprinted tale of his direct predecessor, the Man of Bronze!

Packaged by the Bob Powell Studios, with Powell himself penciling (and likely writing), this story from S&S's Shadow Comics V9N1 #97 (1949) was part of the final year of comics and pulp publishing from Street & Smith, who ended their hero line later in the year.
(S&S did keep Astounding Science Fiction going into the 1960s by converting to digest format, then changed the title to Analog Science Fiction.)

Next Week: Back To Russkie Smashing and Nazi Punching!

CountDown To Halloween 2023 SUPERSNIPE "Halloween" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Kid with the Most Comic Books in America...

...Koppy (SuperSnipe) McFad (wearing his original costume), celebrates Halloween by trick-or-treating with his friends Herlock Domes and Roxy, and ends up at the Van Welty mansion where the trio inadvertently helps an assassination attempt on the mansion's rich owner.

When news reports about the police suspecting the costumed kids reach Koppy and Herlock, they investigate in an attempt to clear themselves, discovering the "policeman" who tricked them was a fraud in a rented costume, which he discarded in a trash can!
After the costume store owner gives them the name of the man who rented the police uniform, the now-plainclothes heroes go in search of the criminal...

Usually, SuperSnipe triumphs despite his rather "Inspector Clouseau"-esque antics, but this time he not only figures out the clues (with a couple of handy coincidences), but deliberately puts himself in danger to keep the criminals in the store until the police arrive!

He may not have "super powers", but SuperSnipe proves himself to be a real hero...
