American Comics Update: Complete Showcase Tommy Tomorrow
*DC: Tommy Tomorrow was a colonel in the 21st Century Interplanetary police force the Planeteers. He first appeared in Real Fact Comics #6 (1647) and after several appearances there, became a regular back-up feature in first Action Comics and then World’s Finest comics from the late 1940s until the early 1960s. He then graduated to his own try-out series in Showcase 1962-63, the series that DC used to audition characters for their own titles. Despite a respectable five issue (non-consecutive) sojourn there, he didn’t catch on enough to get his own title. He continues to pop up in the DCU, but those Showcase issues probably represent the best of Tommy, scripted by Arnold Drake and drawn by Lee Elias, with an inventive array of aliens and outer space adventure. All here in very decent mid-grades.
