The Hulk cartoon with the Wasp in it ( which is embedded in the blog ) is based on the same story.

Uncovering that incident similar to #213 in #90 was a revelation. (That script was from Roy Thomas, with art from Sal Buscema.) Following the link to Jim Shooter's recollections (and the reply from artist Bob Hall) was interesting too. Did you see Charles Knight's mention of Superboy #215 (March 1976), with a similar incident between Cosmic Boy and Light Lass? (That script was also from Jim Shooter, with art from Mike Grell and Bill Draut.)<br /><br />The ISFDB reveals that "The Adventure of Wyndham Smith" was in Famous Fantastic Mysteries in June 1950. The entire story is available online (the cover scene is in the section beginning at Chapter Thirty-One at http://www.sfw.org/wyndham.shtml ). Speaking of similar characters, have you seen Midge, from Quality Comics' Feature Comics #77 (April 1944)?<br /><br />Finally, it would be nice if you cited the books you used to source your illustrations. In particular, I tried to figure out 43.jpg (A wasp -- attacking me!) using http://www.whiterocketbooks.com/avengers/riverawasp.html but couldn't.Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.com
