Don't Shrink Sam's Head
With a little tweaking I think this story, originally published in Atlas Comics' Mystic #23, could have been published in one of that company's humor titles like Crazy. The last panel is a visual joke, and how many stories open up with a collector displaying a petrified vampire and stuffed werewolf?
The Atlas Tales site lists this story as drawn by Romita? with a question mark, so they aren't sure. I scanned it from the Marvel Comics reprint in Vault Of Evil #6, October 1973.

Danger Trail
Danger Trail, the 1951 version, is one of DC's rarer titles, which is why I'm glad to have even an incomplete copy of #4; only two stories are intact, but they're by Infantino and Toth.
"End Of The Arctic" has a whale hunt using a grenade on the end of the harpoon. The grenade doesn't explode. The lead character shoots a seal just so the whalers won't feel bad about missing their whale. The seal shooting isn't shown, and since the grenade didn't explode and blow off part of the whale's top we missed that, but no one tell any animal rights group, OK? I'm on their side, but I'm just presenting the story as it was published 57 years ago. Besides the hunting aspect to the story, there's some mystery and intrigue going on. All political incorrectness considered, it's a good story with good art.The Grand Comics Database tells us that David Vern wrote the story, Alex Toth penciled it, Bernard Sachs inked it, and Julius Schwartz was the editor.

The Crack of Doom

What do you see when the Fantastic Four's worst enemy bends over?
Dr Doom was far from an original character. The name, Dr Doom, had commonly been used in comic books for villains. The concept of a man hiding his tragically disfigured face behind a mask goes back at least to the Phantom of the Opera.
But in other ways, Dr Doom was truly unique, one of the great villains of the Marvel Silver Age. He first appeared in Fantastic Four #5, and right from the start he showed his difference from most other villains. For starters, Doom was honorable, after a fashion, as Reed notes here:
In that same story, we get the first telling of Doom's oft-repeated and frequently embellished origin:
Lee and Kirby often ended stories with Dr Doom apparently dead; this was something of a nod to the Golden Age Batman tales with the Joker always dying at the end and yet returning again.
In Fantastic Four Annual #2, (Summer 1964), we learn the full history of Von Doom. His parents had been gypsies. His mother (a witch) died when he was young, and his father (a healer) was persecuted and blamed for the death of a princess he failed to save. We get a slightly revised version of the accident, with Reed the (almost) savior:
We also learn that Doom is the ruler of a distant European land called Latveria in that story; this will become a longtime plotpoint in the Marvel Universe.
More Doom to Come!
