The opening blurb says this is based on a one-shot Golden Age story (because Lucky Comics loves plumbing the public domain) by Albrecht Publishing about two brothers who built an experimental time-travelling plane and end up traveling through time. The story, such as it is, sees Bill and John Cotter destroying a Nazi base, tangling with a robot Hitler who turns on the other Nazis after it’s damaged, and then taking off.
There’s no dialog beyond the narrator, and the narration keeps jumping around. I know there’s only 9 pages but they managed to fit two complete stories I could at least follow for the most part within those pages. This is one complete story and I learned more from the introductory blurb than I did the comic itself.
As a preview, I’m afraid if falls short. I can get from point A to point B but I’m not sure how I got there. Whatever fun I’ve had at Beetle Girl’s expense, I could at least follow her lame adventure. Here I’m not really sure. This is the last of the FCBD offerings from Lucky Comics currently in my Drive Thru Comics library and for their sake I hope their regular comics are better than their previews.
