Title: New Blog Post -- SOCK JONES from Treasure Chest Comics!
Post by: Calamity Jon on December 15, 2021, 04:01:53 PM

Hi all,

I've just published a new article on my blog today -- it's not a golden age character, but I dove into Treasure Chest Comics of Fact and Fun to discover more about its resident boy genius, Socrates "Sock" Jones: http://www.calamityjonsave.us/gone-and-forgotten (http://www.calamityjonsave.us/gone-and-forgotten)


For a little extra fun, Matthew Peterson also assembled a double-sized list of other "Genius Joneses" from around comics history: https://twitter.com/MightyKingCobra/status/1471133701765541890 (https://twitter.com/MightyKingCobra/status/1471133701765541890)


Hope you enjoy!
Cheers!
-Jon

This caught my eye as Matthew seems to use the MightyKingCobra name and I'm a fan of King Cobra, but I think he's perhaps not aware of the British superhero often drawn by the late and greatly missed Ron Smith.
If he's reading this, here's a page on the superhero:-
