Great covers!

If we're hoping for obscure Quality characters, I will continue to hold out for Alias the Spider and The Jester. At least the stories were good, not something I would say about the Red Bee. Come on there is a reason that he's become the poster boy for loser characters. Still, 3rd rate Quality art often looks pretty good compared to some other GA art.

I was led to believe this guy had a belt buckle of angry bees ready to attack his enemies at his command.

Similar origins?

Similar backgrounds/identities?

The fershluggin' stripes?

Don't know why.

They just do.

If Firebrand, Red Bee and Madame Fatal got together it would be quite the story. . .

Now one way to look at it is they're just three guys with a taste for silky clothes. . . .

But, I'd love to see it, just so I can imagine Dr. Wertham's reaction.

If Batman and Robin got him all hot and bothered, I can just imagine these three setting up "shop" together would have him frothing at the mouth. . .
