A recreation of Steel Sterling’s origin, letting us know that John Sterling jumped into that vat, buck nekkid!

The evil loan sharks offer ‘alternative’ ways to pay back your loan, for the ladies anyway…. that’s a good way to get a visit from Steel Sterling!

More fun in the wild west as Nevada Jones has his hands full with human sacrifice!

TOP NOTCH COMICS #8
(On Newsstands in June 1940)
On sale the same month as Top Notch #7 (Man, these guys work fast!), Edd Ashe’s cover promised some exciting new changes inside!

The first of these changes was that the Wizard, already re-costumed in the previous issue to look more like a ‘modern’ superhero (ahem, Superman), would now take on a young boy as his protege, much like Batman had with Robin over at DC Comics!

Also new to the pages of Top Notch was the new superhero: The Firefly! Believing that Insects gained their strength through some sort of muscle co-ordination (as opposed to the square-cube law), so he imitates that and becomes… the Firefly! (Created by Harry Shorten and Bob Wood)

…and he doesn’t waste any time finding some creepy people to battle!
