Gwandanaland Comics #343

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Doll Man #42, showcasing Reed Crandall's striking cover art — a towering, fearsome creature lunges through a shadowy swamp toward the tiny caped figure of Doll Man, with a lantern glowing on the ground between them. The bold cover copy promises "The Eerie Tale of the Mind Monster," setting a wonderfully atmospheric, pulp-horror tone that captures everything that made Quality Comics' "World's Mightiest Mite" so entertaining. Crandall's expressive linework gives the hulking beast genuine menace, making this a fine showcase for one of the Golden Age's most accomplished artists.
