Ghost Patrol

Another from the Pappy archive, a story in the form of tear sheets given to me over 25 years ago by a man who bought the comics off the stands, then clipped out stories by artists he liked. To a comics fan this should be considered a crime, but I couldn't be showing you this stuff at all if he'd kept his comics intact and they'd had any monetary value.

"Ghost Patrol" was one of those secondary features produced for DC Comics' titles. I appreciate these back-of-the-book strips, which made do with characters not strong enough to star in their own titles. Many of them were illustrated and written by the same top talent that was producing the star features. In this case, "Marked For Danger" comes from Flash Comics #98, August, 1948. Talk about top talent: it's drawn by Carmine Infantino and inked by Bob Oksner.

I like the ghost character playing baseball out in the universe, whacking meteorites!
