Doctor Frost in “The Underwater Graveyard” (Feature/Prize; 1942)
In honor of the annual Heroes Convention which begins later
this very week in Charlotte, North Carolina, I’m continuing to present comics stories chosen
completely arbitrary with little thought in advance. Today legendary champion Doctor
Frost stars in “The Underwater Graveyard” from Prize Comics #18 (Jan.1942);
originally published by Feature Publications and illustrated by Ben Thompson. Mysteriously
hailing from the Great Arctic North, Doctor Frost could project intense cold
beams from his hands, freezing objects (such as weapons), creating ice sleds on
water, or enveloping himself in a sheet of ice so thick that it could withstand
strong explosions. His ice powers could not work in hot or dry environments,
but even without these powers he was a formidable fighter. Doctor Frost had no
secret identity or given name. The
Catacombs acknowledges "Comic Book Plus" as the source of this
classic comic story. Note: The copyright for this issue, its contents and
artwork belongs to the original publishers and/or the creators and is
reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
