COMIC: Yellow Claw

update - better scans found
1956 atlas comicsWhile the short-lived espionage series named for him ran only four issues (Oct. 1956 - April 1957), it featured art by industry legends Maneely, Jack Kirby, and John Severin, and introduced characters used a decade later by writer-artist Jim Steranko in his landmark Marvel Comics feature "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." The series chronicled the adventures of a Chinese-American FBI agent, Jimmy Woo, and his battles against a "yellow peril" Communist mandarin, known only as the Yellow Claw. The title character was a Fu Manchu manqué (indeed, author Sax Rohmer had a Fu Manchu novel titled The Yellow Claw) whose grandniece, Suwan, was in love with Woo.

Really loved seeing Severin's inks on Kirby in No. 4. I have never seen the combination before. Beautiful.
Thanks so much for sharing--this is a great blog.

Old piles of good sh... stuff

These are spotlighted items - not always 'old' because of when they were made but rather these are things that were posted awhile ago on this blog and have been 'archived' in the back.














I hope you enjoy the site!
