Golden age comics typically included short stories, usually
accompanied by a panel or two of artwork in order to qualify for magazine
mailing rates. These 2-3 page text pieces served their purpose well enough, but
in the absence of any eye-appealing artwork (as was often the case), I
doubt that many kids gave them the time of day. The script on “Judy and the Golden
Crown” which was originally published in Exciting Comics #65 (Jan.1949)
by Better/Standard/Nedor, is credited to “Charles S. Strong” (a bogus company
alias) but the attached art panels are illustrated by Art Saaf. The
Catacombs is grateful to Don "Zu-Gogo" Falkos for providing the scans
for this story. Note: The copyright for this issue, its contents and
artwork belongs to the original publisher and/or the creators and is reproduced
here solely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
