A new edit of the Rangerhouse scan.
--
A crazy book that is quite well done. Some very nice artwork.
It's noted for the 'Hitler Goes to Hell' story.

Note - it's pretty typical of the WW2 era racial stereotypes it uses.

Comment: As a big fan of the crazed serial "The Lost City", which I learned about from seeing fragments of it on the TV show "Night Flight" in the late 1980s ( ! ), and later acquired a full copy of, I'm amazed to see a comix version of it, as I didn't know that there was one! That alone makes this one worth a look, and I'm sure I'll find other goodies in here - THANKS for re-editing and posting this!
