Description
The Bouncer #nn One-Shot Cover by E. C. Stoner (Fox Features Syndicate, 1944).
This lot includes The Bouncer from 1944, with cover by E. C. Stoner. Featuring stories and art by Bob Kanigher and Louis Ferstadt, Ted Small, and Pat Regan. One of the stranger superheroes, Greek deity Antaeus who can bounce whenever hurled to the ground. The Bouncer has the distinction of being the first character created by comics legend Robert Kanigher. 48 pages. Full Colour. Cover price $0.10.
Numbering on the series apparently continues from Green Mask Vol. 1 (1940) #9, although this is murky because there was also a Green Mask Vol. 1 (1940) #10, and this issue of Bouncer was not numbered. Thus referred to as a ‘one-shot’.
