STORY DETAILS

(6 Stories)

Title: Murder Marionettes

Characters: Doll Man [Darrel Dane]; Peter Bolini (introduction, death); Anton Bolini (villain, introduction, death)

Synopsis: Doll Man must overcome the sinister Bolini, a modern-day Gepetto, who has made marionettes who kill.

Pages: 12.000

Pencils: Max Elkan

Inks: Max Elkan

Notes: Originally credited to Al Bryant, but few of his many close up faces in side view or female heads with protuding forehead are seen. This is most probably by Elkan, with narrow eyes, abundance of hair on the head. Also the inking is much like his work.

Title: The Man Called Grim

Characters: Doll Man [Darrel Dane]; Martha Roberts; Luther; Grim (villain, introduction)

Synopsis: Mr. Grim tries to put Martha and her friend Luther into suspended animation coffins so that one hundred years in the future they can easily conquer the weaklings who would surely have proliferated by then.

Pages: 11.000

Pencils: John Celardo ?

Inks: John Celardo ?

Notes: Originally credited to Al Bryant, but the sharp hard lined faces are most probably by Celardo. Compare with his story in Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery #38. It is later than this, but his firm faces and figures are similar. He is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who.

Title: The Riddle of the Missing Ears

Characters: Martha Roberts; Philip Randolph (first appearance); De Zerlin (first appearance); Trigger Zerlin and his gang (first appearance; villains)

Pages: 8.000

Script: Bill Woolfolk

Pencils: Reed Crandall ?

Inks: Reed Crandall ?

Notes: The art here looks more like Max Elkan than Crandall.

Title: The Good Sport!

Characters: Doll Man [Darrel Dane]; Ferris; Sport Gurk (villain, introduction); Gurk's gang (villains, introduction for all)

Synopsis: Mr. Ferris is acting odd lately, and he spends every night at the Sport Club Place gambling.

Pages: 14.000

Pencils: Rafael Astarita

Inks: Rafael Astarita

Notes: Originally credited to Al Bryant, but this is most probably Astarita. Especially the face on top of page 8 is exactly identical to ones found in his signed story in Real Life Comics #53. Also some faces in 3/4 backview with google eyes are similar. Compares well with his story in Jumbo Comics #51. Alter Ego #141 (August 2016) has article by Hames Ware indicating that the art is by Astarita.
