Hitting newsstands shortly after Whiz Comics #3, Slam-Bang Comics #1 is the launch of one of Fawcett Publications ' earliest yet most underappreciated comic book titles. The debut issue includes work by two of mainstream comics' most unrestrained stylists in Gus Ricca of Chesler fame and Jack Cole of Plastic Man fame, and contains a wild mix of throw-it-all-against-the-wall features that could only have happened in the early Golden Age.
Winning over a native group of villagers by saving their chief from death, Granger soon captures a lion and enables it to talk using an electrical device he constructed in the jungle village. Eric the Talking Lion vows to help Granger and his villager friends. Another Slam Bang Comics feature starring a character named Jim Dolan is also worth a closer look.
