Name That Comic Game!!!

[JVJ (RIP)]

Just got back into this, Mark,
and, though it's maddeningly familiar, I've NO idea. The falling (?) figure's face looks like it was drawn by Ralph Mayo, and this seems to be some jungle heroine book, but my brain is drawing (ha ha) a complete blank. Sounds like Narf already knows the answer. Why not tell us, Jim? This is supposed to be an open game, isn't it?

Maybe something will gel with another clue, but I doubt it. Either I know these things or I don't.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

If I would have been right in the place I looked I would let you know. It  was not what I thought. I won't say where I looked because I may use that next time for mine.

I am starting a new game here at DCM.
A small segment of the cover of the comic will be posted along with a word hint. (It will always be a cover, no interior pages)
The comic will always be one that is on DCM.

I'm just double-checking to make sure that this is on DCM?

So Jim(s), how unfortunate  you are not doing too well ... we are now at clue # FOUR and in fact with all the help I have given I'll call it # FIVE!
I'll make it an even bigger strip.

And yes Jim it is indeed on DCM, so you're just going to have to soldier on ...

[JVJ (RIP)]

Indeed, Mark,
great hints and images, but I simply don't know the book, You have me on this one.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

[Mark Warner]

O dear  ... I thought that you'd find this one easy. I'll put up some more stuff tomorrow

[Mark Warner]

Ok I've finished with the strips so we are back to squares ... Now I bet someone will recognize who this is and I'll be washed up

Okay, I get that it's Capt. Easy and (I suppose) Wash Tubbs, but I have never collected nor paid much attention to strip reprint comics. My personal "definition" of comic books doesn't really include newspaper strips. So even knowing all of this, I still couldn't tell you where the cover appeared. Brian, Jim, SOMEBODY out there should know or has the game devolved to just some individual challenges between you and me. So now you know, pick a strip reprint title and I'm dead in the water.

I made the "great" sacrifice of looking up Captain Easy comics and found this at Standard:

You have found my weak spot, Mark, or rather a direction in which I take no interest.

Since I finally got it, here's my first clue for my round 10:

It don't think it's that bad of hint.

Lol ... but Jim you got it! ... but you didn't see my clues ... "make it easy for you" "find this one easy", "not too difficult" "strip" "soldier" "fortunate" etc ...

OK I promise I'll behave (for now) and next one I do, I'll choose a "proper" "non-obscure" title ... but somehow making sure you don't get it in one is the problem.

Regards,
Mark

In retrospect, Mark,
yes. What was cloudy became clear. But you have to understand that I'm an art kind of guy. I actually told myself with the first clue that it was a Standard book. Seriously. That face was pure Ralph Mayo and that's where he was when that kind of cover was being done. But, as I said, I never once thought of a strip reprint book. My blind spot, sad to say.

Good luck with my #10.

Jim, I got it some time ago that you are an art guy. That is why you built your collection ... plus I had a good sniff around your site

I actually chose the comic, as if you look at the other two in the section I believe they are in a different hand and it looked like rather a nice piece of art, in a different league from them and was not signed (honestly I really did)

I cannot find this one, but I know I have seen it. I think Red saboteurs and spy genre. Maybe a named crime buster, but I go for ships about to be blown up.

[JVJ (RIP)]

You're pretty good at this, Mark.
You'll probably get this in three.

Here's clue #2.

I know I have seen this but a blank
