What obafgkm said. And it guest stars (though obscured for legal purposes) Doc Savage and The Shadow. There’s a complete edition collecting all of the stories out now.
And in the graphic novel, the heroine is modeled on Bettie Page. Yowza.

I just bought the collection of the original comics today. Nice hardback edition to celebrate Free Comic Book Day today.

You say Rocket Man shouldn’t have come out of the closet, Sherlock?
