Comment:	Thanks Yoc! Some of the best newspaper comic strips and adventure and costumed hero original strips in this Popular Comics. Bill Ely's early art was a lot more interesting than his Silver Age DC art (Rip Hunter etc.) I remember some GA Dell comic with Ely doing a time travel / dinosaurs strip -- was it perhaps other episodes of Hurricane Kids in Popular?
