Monday Mecha Madness FANTASTIC "Thinking Machine"

During the Golden Age of Comics, Writers and Artists Sometimes Came Up with Rather...Unique Portrayals of Mechanical Beings...

...as you'll see in this never-reprinted tale from Youthful's Fantastic #8 (1952)!

Illustrated by Vince Napoli and scripted by a writer whose identity is lost to the mists of time, this reads more like a Frankenstein-type horror tale than a sci-fi story about a robot!

Monday Madness FANTASTIC "Deadly Doodles of Dandy!"

One of the funkiest versions of the "Everything I write comes to life!" concept...

...is this tormenting tale from Youthful's Fantastic #9 (1952)!

While the writer is unknown, the art is by Edwin Goldfarb and Bob Baer...or is it?
Oddly, the duo of Goldfarb and Baer poped up all over the place, always working together.
Yet the quality of their art fluctuated wildly from barely competent to superb!
This story has a lot of the stylistic hallmarks of both Mike Sekowsky and Carmine Infantino, while the inking looks a helluva lot like Frank Giacoia.
Were "Goldfarb & Baer" pen-names?
We may never know!
Note: For January, we're taking our leave of Mars-based stories, since our buddy at Rip Jagger's Dojo is doing a month-long look at the various renditions of life on the Red Planet...and how it affects life on our world!
We'll make a decision at the beginning of February as to what direction our Monday feature will take.
In the meantime, we're restoring the "Madness" aspect to this weekly feature!
Enjoy!
