REED CRANDALL is the "One Man Army" (1953)

We've featured the work of Reed Crandall in a variety of genres, and we'll no doubt see more. But here's something different. He's not only the artist, he's the hero. From G.I. Combat #4, dated MY 1953, and provided to comicbookplus by Snard. 

Reed Crandall, Captain Daring and the Hoochie Coochie Princess (1950)

Crandall and the Captain return in this tale from Buccaneers #21, May 1950. We met them both a while back HERE. Thanks to comicbookplus and Digital Comic Book Museum.

Introducing REED CRANDALL's Jeb Rivers on the Mississippi (1949)

I haven't come across too many riverboat adventurers in the comics, but here's one of that rare breed, and - as a bonus - he's illutstrated by Reed Crandall. This first adventure is from Hit Comics #61, of Nov. 1949. Found on comicbookplus, where it was uploaded by CB+ himself.

REED CRANDALL Meets "The Old Witch" (1941)

Comicbookplus identifies this tale, from Hit Comics #10 (April 1941) as Reed Crandall's first story. That may be. The Grand Comics Database lists three other stories published that same month, and one possible from the previous June. This is a fine job, though, and especially interesting given his reunion with The Old Witch many years later in her own domain, The Haunt of Fear.

REED CRANDALL and Ken Shannon in "The Evil Eye of Count Ducrie" (1951)

The pencils on this adventure from the first issue of Ken Shannon (Oct. 1951) are credited to Reed Crandall. Sadly, it appears the inks were added by by someone else, but we should be grateful for what we have. We should also be grateful to "Tigger" for uploading it to comicbookplus.
