We don’t even know what to think of Famous Flint Man by Famous Funnies. All this “fella” stuff and grunting indigenous peoples reminds us of the David Grief stories by Jack London – but without London’s populist disdain for oppressing the locals.

Collector’s Guide:
- From Famous Funnies #89 and #90, 1941.
You may recall that in 1961, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby unveiled a new super-hero team called the Fantastic Four. For their team, they invented the character of The Invisible Girl. Now that was originality.
Hey – Wait a minute! Did you know that 20 years earlier, in 1941, Famous Funnies published a series of adventures with their own Invisible Girl called Invisible Scarlet O’Neil?
