Captain Tootsie chronicled the adventures of a hero who received power from Tootsie Rolls and carried a supply of them in the ..um.. man-purse he's carrying. Art by studio of C.C. Beck giving him that gosh-wow innocence of Captain Marvel. He eventually graduated from short strips to two issues of his own book in 1950. Should be noted, the registration was so far off on the adventure shown here that I re-colored, matching the original colors as close as possible.

Captain Tootsie & The Haunted House

Sally the Sleuth appeared in these mini-comics in various pulps from the Spicy line such as Spicy Detective Stories (where this one came from) from about 1934-1953. A good little run. Her cases usually resulted in her clothes being torn leaving her in various stages of undress. Many of the comics read as the last act of a longer story. Although some were several pages and not quite so lascivious.

Sally Sleuth and the Avenging Corpse

Volto, the magnetic man from Mars, appeared in various comics. While his magnetic powers were indeed formidable they apparently could only be recharged through eating Grape Nuts Flakes. Of note, Frank Robbins, the love him or hate him artist of Marvel's 1970's THE INVADERS comic and as well as newspaper strips Green Hornet and Scorchy Smith did a few of these tales.
