"The Girl Who Saved The World" - STRANGE TALES #49

"The Girl Who Saved The World" was originally published in 1956 in STRANGE TALES #49. It is signed by Joe Orlando in the first panel,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and has "Hartley" for Al Hartley on the book in the last panel, so it appears to have been a collaboration between Joe Orlando and Al Hartley. But once again, Stan Lee's name is nowhere to be seen. Maybe his name wasn't as prevalent on Marvel comics in that period.

Reblogged from http://fourcolorshadows.blogspot.com/ , which suggested that Joe Orlando drew the aliens and Al Hartley drew the girl.

Harvey Hector Jr. - FIGHTING YANK #24

Another one-page filler from Al Hartley, this one from Better/Standard/Nedor's FIGHTING YANK #24.

Not really a Christian comic book story, but it does sort of foreshadow some of Al Hartley's later work for Spire comics.

Miss Bliss By Al Hartley

MEET MISS BLISS is a comic book about a pretty teacher, sort of like a different version of the "Miss Crabtree" of the "Our Gang" comedies. Published by Marvel ( "Atlas" ) comics and signed by Stan Lee and Al Hartley.

Dotty - FOUR TEENERS

This was the first Dotty story, from FOUR TEENERS. After this, Dotty got her own title, which in turn eventually became GLAMOROUS ROMANCES.

 Art is by Al Hartley. You can see an Al Hartley interview published in ALTER EGO #61 at http://twomorrows.com/media/AlterEgo61Preview.pdf
