If you took my advice at THOIA and found your way over here to AEET just now, well then get ready for one of the most propular cross-over posts I've ever created! First of all, no one ever has to pull my leg to post some incredible Bob Lubbers artwork, and if it's in a comic story involving loony violent war slavers, and a young lady who can't seem to keep her wardrobes from thankfully malfunctioning, well-- count me in! Plus: Lots of gorgeously staged aircraft battle action, and not to mention that crazy ass way to sacrifice a person, ending in yet another astoundingly gory panel (of which you are sure to be a big fan of! Get it?) The story is called "Port of Missing Pilots", and it can be found in the April 1947 issue of Wings Comics #80, published by Fiction House. And if you haven't already read the other gore galore post first over at THOIA today, --then git flyin'!

Oooo-Wee! How did Freddy Wertham miss this one?
Wow, yeah, that was plenty racy. I really dig Lubbers' art. I don't know a whole lot about him. The newspaper strips I've seen seem looser, more fluid. Here he kind of feels like he's doing a character style I associate with Lee Elias--and with Jesse Marsh-style backgrounds? That's a really choice aesthetic combination for me.
I'm going to have to dig up more Wings Comics, it seems.
PS, This literal splash panel (gasp choke), right after reading the THOIA story, is a real humdinger. What an interesting way to foreshadow the coming events. Also I cracked up at the "big fan" joke in your intro.

What, no love for my invention of the word “propular” used in both posts?! Haha
