CHEYENNE KID #98, September 1973



Has it already been a month since the last time I posted a comic? Yeesh, time goes by at super-fast speed when buried in projects!

Well, it's time to rectify that with this amazingly great issue of CHEYENNE KID!
Sanho Kim's cover is full of force and emotion, utilizing one of his favorite imagery tropes with the girl's face hovering in the air evoking a spectral memory within one of the characters.

The art and stories are all fantastic, some of the series best,
with art duties by Kim, Pat Boyette both pulling in a Kid story, and Fred Himes with one featuring Apache Red.

Sadly, the series would only last one more issue before ending it's 16 year run that began in 1957.

Charlton usually kept their house ads within genre specific titles, so it's odd that the issue rounds out with an ad for their war/military books.

SUBMARINE ATTACK #39 May 1963

This is one intense cover by Sam Glanzman, full of drama, determination, dread, and the realities of sub warfare.

All three stories this issue are quite good. Unsure of the artist on the first story , but the style is very familiar.
The second tale is also uncredited, but has definite Morisi aspects; if not pencils then surely the inks.

The third and final story is a heavy duty steamroller , action packed and illustrated perfectly by the team of Bill Montes and Ernie Bache, with one of their most powerful stories together.

This title, like many of the war genre, a lot of times could be rather bland--however, this issue delivered the goods throughout.
