#Otto Binder

[nitpickrider]

Honestl,y poor Otto Binder is one of the historically all time most underrated comic writers. Serialization, superhero families and rogues galleries, the cartoon weird shit, he came up with all that back on Captain Marvel!

He really is, all the legal chicanery that put Captain Marvel in DC's hands didn't do him any favors in making sure his work would be remembered but he was an instrumental figure in getting comics to where they are today

December 1947. Tawky Tawny (initially just called Mr. Tawny; his first name was added later), in his first appearance in CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #79, admires his first suit of "civilized" clothing.

WC: ACTION COMICS #326

We’ve now reached the point where all that was left in my stack of comics purchased in my 1988 Windfall Comics sale were issues of ACTION COMICS, so get ready for a steady stream of ACTION reviews before we’re done. This particular issue featured a lead story that I had already read years before, in an issue of DC SPECIAL BHOC: DC SPECIAL #21 But it was nonetheless one of the more interesting…

Fantastic Adventures (vol. 3) #3 (May, 1941).

The shadow dragon on the cover resembles a Chinese dragon exactly as it's described in the story. However, author Eando Binder (the pseudonym used by brothers Earl AND Otto Binder) assures us later that it's really a dinosaur akin to a Tyrannosaurus rex.

October 1944. A landmark of Golden Age comics was the 25-part "Monster Society of Evil" saga, which ran in Fawcett's CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES from 1943 to 1945. The leader of the Monster Society of Evil was a mysterious character called Mr. Mind … who was eventually revealed to be just a little worm! But not just any worm: To quote the recap at the beginning of this installment (Chapter 19), he was "An intelligent worm with the greatest genius for evil ever known!" Although the serial ended with Mr. Mind being captured by Captain Marvel and paying the ultimate price for his reign of terror (no, really), DC has revived the character several times in more recent years. Unfortunately, because DC has never really had much editorial capacity for whimsy, they can seldom resist trying to rationalize him in some absurd way (e.g., by making him a Venusian brain-parasite whose true form is a terrifying giant monster). This is wrong. Mr. Mind is a CUTE LITTLE WORM WHO KILLS PEOPLE. As seen above, he gets sad when his fiendish plots and horrible death rays don't work. That is basically it, and he's really not a character who needs any embellishment. I mean, look at him!

WC: ACTION COMICS #352

We’re getting very near the end of the books that were a part of my Windfall Comics purchase of 1988, wherein I bought a box or around 150 silver age comic books from a guy I bumped into at the post office for only $50.00. So as usual, we’ll be looking at this issue of ACTION COMICS somewhat for how well it lives up to its title. Ever since the Comics Code had come into use, it had become…
