In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head to June 1949 for a strange coincidence of two different DC comic books where characters are seemingly transformed into statues!
Something that comes up frequently when I discuss these 75-year-old stories, in particular, is the way that the format of comic books in the late 1940sc was so different than it is today. While there WERE occasional multi-issue stories, they were few and far between. Comic books were almost always “Done in one” stories, and there were a BUNCH of them. Picking two comic book releases from June 1949 at random (actually at random, dad! My father has always complained about me misuing the word “random,” but this time I seriously did pick two issues at random using a random number generator), Casey: Crime Photographer #2 (from the company that would become Marvel) had four stories in it, ranging from eight pages to 10 pages, and Quality Comics’ Hit Comics #60 had four stories in it, ranging from five pages to 13 pages.
How did Batman prove that Robin had NOT actually been transformed into a gold statue?
