Than Human

Hello comic book readers! I'm working on compiling a collection of old comic book stories, originally edited by the legendary Stan Lee, hopefully to be published sometime next year. In the meantime, I think you'll enjoy some selections from among the hundreds I've read in search of the perfect anthology. Most of these examples will not be in the collection, but they're a lot of fun anyway. Special thanks to Marvel for permitting me to show you these low-res, but readable pages. By the way, I've prepared these pages for minimum download time at about 110K each. If I receive a lot of e-mail asking for a higher resolution, I'll reconsider...but remember not everybody has a fast modem like yours. More than Human: 6-page story edited by Stan Lee, drawn by Mort Lawrence, and scripted by an unknown writer. Originally published in Uncanny Tales #19, 1953. I think the SF/horror story is good...and the splash panel is terrific! The Coward: 3-page story edited by Stan Lee, drawn by Mike Sekowsky, and scripted by an unknown writer. Originally published in True Adventures #3, 1950. Though not scripted by Stan, this story has a real "Marvel" flavor, right down to Sekowsky's Jack Kirby swipes. Hutch Hammer: 6-page Ringo Kid story edited by Stan Lee, drawn by Joe Maneely and scripted by an unknown writer. Originally published in Wild Western #43, 1955. Typical of Maneely's outstanding art (he was equally good in any genre, including an imitation of "Dennis the Menace")...and doesn't Ringo resemble young Clint Eastwood?
