Startling Comics #45 was published for May of 1947 and features a cover and interior art by Graham Ingels, just a few short years before his signature Horror work for EC would garner him the nickname, “Ghastly." Bright reds, yellows, and oranges balanced out by deep blues, a black background on this one make the Graham Ingels cover a sight to behold. 🔥

This cool Sci-Fi cover has the gorgeous lass in the customary Ingels slinky, skimpy dress, in this case being accosted by a vile-looking Alien.

Sometimes a classic little moment in comic book history can slip through the cracks misunderstood, forgotten, or perhaps a bit overshadowed. Such is the case with the Lance Lewis & Marna covers for Startling Comics #44-46, from the legendary artist Graham Ingels for publisher Standard/Better/Nedor. These three issues, cover-dated March-July 1947, feature the beginning of Startling Comics'transition from a superhero title that had featured Pyroman and Fighting Yank covers, to a science fiction title with covers featuring Lance Lewis, Space Detective and his companion Marna !
