“Beyond the Sinister Barrier!”

In "Beyond the Sinister Barrier!", the once-lighthearted Cap's Hobby Shop takes a surprising turn toward earnest advice, offering practical guidance for model enthusiasts in a 1966 issue of Showcase. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Henry Boltinoff, the story invites readers to submit their own model projects—those featured receive $5.00 and recognition for their original artwork—launching a long-running tradition of reader contributions. The cover, by Murphy Anderson, captures the issue’s blend of whimsy and craftsmanship.
