American Comics Update: Nine late Strange Adventures
*DC: After Julius Schwartz moved away from the editorship of Strange Adventures, the torch was passed to Jack Schiff with his brand of horror/mystery mostly replacing the title’s traditional science fiction. There were still plenty of recurring characters though: Star Hawkins and his robot secretary Ilda still had a few adventures left over from the Schwartz era, plus there were new heroes such as the Enchantress, Animal Man and Immortal Man. Nine issues new in from this period this week as follows:
