“Scramolo, the Escape Wizard”

"Scramolo, the Escape Wizard" introduces a delightfully whimsical mystery in National Comics #53, a 1946 gem from Quality Comics. When Lassie and Laddie swear they’ve seen Martian invaders in the park after an observatory visit, their alarm quickly gives way to surprise—those "aliens" are just revelers at a Futurist mask party. Written, drawn, and inked by Bernard Dibble, the story blends childlike wonder with a playful twist, all rendered in crisp, expressive style. The cover by Al Bryant captures the party’s eccentric energy, perfectly setting the tone for a tale where imagination outpaces reality.
