Gwandanaland Comics #743

This Gwandanaland Comics collection brings together the complete adventures of The Echo, the golden-age Yankee Comics hero whose original cover art sets an immediate tone of supernatural menace — a looming skeletal figure in a top hat reaches its clawed hands over our blue-suited hero as he confronts a sinister older man, while a caption-boxed villain labeled "Dr. Doom" and a steadfast young woman named "Cora" round out the dramatis personae. The original cover text promises a tale of a young college hero bound to the spirit of his slain father, seeking vengeance twenty years in the making. It's a wonderfully atmospheric package for fans of golden-age pulp heroics, gathered here in a 2018 reprint edition that makes these hard-to-find adventures accessible again.
