Strongman

Gardner Fox and Bob Powell brought the muscle to Magazine Enterprises' Strongman (1955–present), a short but punchy four-issue series that flexed the classic strongman archetype into comic book form. Powell's dynamic, shadowy art gave the title its gritty, larger-than-life feel, while Fox's scripts delivered straightforward action befitting the era's adventure comics. Though brief, it stands as a neat capsule of mid-century pulp heroics from a publisher known for genre experiments.
