Dick Hercules of St. Markham’s

    (Sports Cartoons, 1953-1954)
™ and © Sports Cartoons

Dick Hercules is just your average boarding-school student. Well, not totally: he’s more athletic, smarter, and quite a bit stronger than the other guys. Maybe that’s why Dick, along with his best pal Prof, manages to find himself involved in one dangerous adventure after another. Besides his strength and natural athletic prowess, Dick is selflessly courageous, never thinking twice before leaping to someone’s rescue. This comic is uncomplicated but still entertaining, and seems to be a cross somewhere between Sherlock Holmes and Jonny Quest.
