Product Description

Lou Fine was one of the most impressive and influential artists to ever work in comics. His fluid figures were admired and copied by such greats as Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

In the early 40’s, the heyday of the Golden Age, he worked for Everett M. ‘Busy’ Arnold at Quality Comics, and in addition to his impressive covers, he worked on such comics as the Black Condor.

Richard Grey Jr., having lost his parents, was raised by giant black condors and after studying his condor foster parents, he learned to fly. Fine also created The Ray, a reporter named Hubert ‘Happy’ Terrill who was covering the story of a high-flying ‘strato-balloon’ exploring the upper atmosphere.

An electrical storm struck and while closing the outer airlock door, ‘Happy’ got the full brunt of the storm’s energy and the unfiltered sunlight giving him his super powers to absorb energy from his surroundings and emit it from his body in any form he chose.

Collects the Black Condor stories from Crack Comics #12-21 (April 1941-February 1942) and The Ray stories from Smash Comics #23-30 (June 1941-January 1942).
