DYNAMO vs. DINOSAUR - Crandall and Wood take us "Back To The Stone Age!"
Wally Wood created the superhero Dynamo and the rest of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents for Tower Comics, and they first appeared in T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1, 1965. Main character Dynamo got his own title and debuted in 1966.
Wood had a lot of other notable artists helping him out on several stories throughout the 2 years or so that the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents adventures were published. Here he is joined by old EC alum Reed Crandall, who provides perfect pencils for Wood's wondrous inks, in a story from DYNAMO #1.
Len Brown was an ordinary guy (with a good physique) who, with the aid of a special belt, was transformed into a nearly indestructible power-house, or dynamo, if you will...
Will that be enough for him to survive if he goes...
BACK TO THE STONE AGE!

A TOUCH OF HORROR - Bad Intentions From Stan Lee and Joe Maneely
Specially restored just for you, here's a taut little thriller from the pre-superhero mind of Stan Lee. This pre-code horror story is heightened by some exquisite imagery by Atlas' icon Joe Maneely. Full of details, every panel is set up by Maneely like a master director sets up his camera, as we follow his wonderfully unique and believable characters through out the vistas of rotting old mansions and mountainous cliffs. Young Stan Lee proves he is a master storyteller, and with Maneely's art, we can look into the characters eyes and see just what they are thinking.
From Atlas comics SUSPENSE #28, 1953, here's a classic horror tale entitled
WITH INTENT TO KILL!
