Stoker and Razz versus G-8!
I'm not kidding, you can see the truth here.
Thus far I've read half of the most recent G-8 novel, The Blood-Bat Staffel, as published in G-8 and His Battle Aces for January 1936. The story is as cracked as ever, with that fiend, Herr Doktor Krueger, using giant bat-men that shoot lighting from their claws at American planes to try to recruit pagan German hillbillies from the Black Forest to fight for the Kaiser. Americans and the Hun get mowed down in wholesale lots as G-8 once more dons an impenetrable disguise and infiltrates Herr Doktor Krueger's headquarters (you'd think that Krueger would have twigged to this eventually) to discover just what is the truth behind the Blood-Bats. All the usual glorious madness is there, with insane aerial battles, weird flying monsters, fiendish (and some not so fiendish) Germans by the boatload, and a right cross to the jaw as a perfect solution to about 95% or so of all life's problems.
The approaching issues look equally insane, with the next being Skeletons of the Black Cross. The cover art shows Sopwiths diving down on a observation balloon, machine guns blazing away uselessly at the animated skeletons firing ray guns(!) at them. Blasted planes are going down in flames with their screaming, partially skeletonized pilots at the controls. Coming up after that are Patrol of the Dead and Scourge of the Sky Beast.
So until later, loyal fans, remember to keep 'em flying!
