77 Sunset Strip / Four Color v2 #1211 - Russ Manning art

Four Color Comics v2 #1211

77 Sunset Strip v1 / Four Color v2 #1211, 1961 - Russ Manning takes over this series, picking up where Alex Toth left off. Of his three capably drawn efforts, the story of a carnival plagued by mysterious accidents is the most visually interesting. The opening panel sets a festive tone, complete with colorful posters and stringing lights. Manning's other tales are more subdued, but equally sharp and distinct in their renditions. The inside front cover serves as a contents page, using some interior story panels as art. An alternate version of this issue replaces the back cover ad with an untitled Manning page (Kookie learns how to surveil a car). Photo cover. This is 1 of 6 77 Sunset Strip issues by Manning. /// Manning gallery
