Rex Morgan, M.D.

In this short-lived 1950s medical drama from Argo Publications, psychiatrist-turned-comics-writer Nicholas P. Dallis (credited alongside Dal Curtis) brought his clinical expertise to the page, chronicling the professional and personal life of Dr. Rex Morgan. With art by Marvin Bradley and Frank Edgington, the series ran for just three issues but laid the groundwork for the long-running newspaper strip of the same name. Its blend of earnest medical storytelling and soap-opera tension made it a quiet pioneer in the genre of physician-led comics.
