Masterman Comic

    (United Anglo-American, 1952-1953)
™ and ©1953 United Anglo-American Book Co.

This British comic features Masterman, actually Bobby Fletcher, son of an oil tycoon, who has been granted fantastic powers by a mysterious Egyptian prince. In true pulp fashion, Masterman traverses the globe as well as time itself to fight evil in its many forms. The pacing and plots of these charming romps favor the movie serial and Sunday comic’s cliff-hanger formula. Each cover boasts “All in Colour” in black, white and two shades of red. Backup features for the book include Will Rogers as well as the baseball playing crocodile, Satch, in Animal Crackers.
