Howdy friends! Another beautiful day in Boston! Well this installment of the Ultimate Comic Blog will take us all the way back to 1969, but first a little history lesson for you. Back in the 1960's DC created various new characters and placed them in a title called Showcase. Many of these heros were duds and were quickly forgotten (B'wana Beast anyone?). Others became classic heroes that still exist today (The Flash). For several issues starting with issue #73 each issue featured a character that soon got their own title. Issue #74 was the Anthro issue. Anthro is a caveman. Yep that's it. So easy Anthro could do it. Anthro #1 was released in July 1968, and promptly erased in 1969. The last issue is the one showcased today.
Anthro #6
This cover will always be one of the best because of the cat-fight! With art by Howie Post and Wally Wood it harkens back to the good old times when you could just sit back, "relax" and eat your turkey leg while two broads fought over you. Now it's all about saturday trips to Pier 1.But in all seriousness, that is why it's still a fun cover, it's absurdity. Thanks for taking the time true believers and i'll catch you later! Peace, B.M.T.
