PRE CODE CLASSIC ADVENTURE COMICS SOFTEE (2025)

Danger! Men Without Fear-secret agents, spies, espionage, intrigue-men who live for danger! Comic Media stalwart Pete Morisi was featured in Dan Nobel's 'Art In Time' where he is praised for his 'highly economical and even refined comic book storytelling.' Critic Ken Parille (The Comics Journal) wrote that Morisi embraced 'a deliberate sense of stillness.' The other main artist across title was Don Heck, who in 1955 would be recruited by Stan Lee to Atlas Comics, later to become Marvel Comics. The combined talents of Pete and Don make this 1950's five-comic set, today's winner-but be warned, stock is limited! Collects Danger #1-5 (January-September 1953).

Johnny Dynamite, created by Pete Morisi, was a hard-boiled private detective, known as "The Wild Man from Chicago." Good friends with the D.A. but readily accepted by the underworld, he smoked cigarettes constantly, cursed frequently and had a bad habit of getting shot and beaten by his enemies. But always gave as good as he got; he was an experienced and persistent detective taking his cases very personally and killed many of his early foes, claiming they were reaching for a weapon. Myra Benz, who had shot him in the eye, was brazenly killed without any true justification beyond his own sense of justice. Collects Dynamite #6-9 (January-September 1954) and Johnny Dynamite #10 (June 1955).
