Looking at the original stories, I now realize that the reprinted version from Blue Ribbon Comics #8 that I used in this post reads quite a bit differently. The original, which we'll look at today, was written and edited by Gray Morrow, while the reprinted one was edited by Robin Snyder, while writing credit still went to Morrow. Did Snyder ask Morrow to rewrite the origin? Or did he add some exposition himself in his editor's capacity? Dunno, but there is a difference. My point is that I was wrong-o when I said, "They're slightly re-edited/formatted, but nothing that should impede your enjoyment." Anywho, we're gonna kick off today's big honkin' post with the original, solo Morrow effort, and keep on truckin' until we've shared all four Red Hood stories from ASHCDM #2!
Next up, we have "The Black Hood Hits a Sour Note..." by Marvin Channing and Al McWilliams...
Followed by "Life's Not Like a Comic Book!" plotted by Morrow with story and art by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano...
...and we close the day out with "It's Murder to Beat the Odds!" by Channing and McWilliams...
Howzat for some far-out comics, baby?
