Gwandanaland Comics #1530

This Gwandanaland treasury collects Golden Age Charlie Chan material, anchored by a reproduction of the original Charlie Chan #5 cover penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Joe Simon — a treat for fans of early comics history. That cover crackles with tension: a disguised villain seated confidently in a wheelchair confronts a red-clad woman and Charlie Chan himself, speech balloons calling out a Nazi war criminal who can't conceal his "evil scent" from Number One Son and the police closing in. Fifty-two pages of the world-famous Earl Derr Biggers detective await inside, making this 2019 treasury a genuinely satisfying deep dive into the Golden Age.
