Moldoff art; The Whip coverThis issue's distinct Action #1-ish Whip cover is exciting and charming to this day, although the character has been lost to the ages, his thrilling first appearance still packs a punch. The anthology fare on display inside this book is typical of the times, and although the titular hero, Flash does not star on this cover, he is in the featured story "The Gambling Ship," as well as a Hawkman adventure further in the issue.
This distinctly cartoonish cover is in great shape, very few signs of wear and a bright color scheme highlight the unique appeal of this issue, a definite must-have comic for those fans of Golden Age esoterica.
Artists Information
Moldoff is best known for his early work on DC's Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and was one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" on Batman. He co-created the Batman villains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, the second Clayface, and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman, and Ace the Bat-Hound.
E. E. Hibbard was an American comics artist who worked for DC Comics in the 1940s. He was one of the main artists behind 'The Flash' superhero stories by Gardner Fox. He was the first artist to illustrate a 'Justice Society' story and created the recurring villains Winky, Blinky and Noddy and Thinker in the 'Flash' franchise.
