Not Brand Echh Vol 1 1 - 1

Detailed Summary:
Weed Wichards is busy working in his lab, trying to find a way to change back the Thung into his human self. He creates an elixir, but is frustrated that the Thung does not want to drink the smelly liquid. He finally concedes and is turned into the Inedible Bulk.

Meanwhile, Doctor Bloom spots the Silver Burper flying over Batveria. He tricks him into entering his castle and then proceeds to steal the Burper's powers. Doctor Bloom transfers the powers into his armor and sets off to attack the Fantastical Four.

He effortlessly defeats the Four. He traps them in a giant dandelion and ice cream cone. However, before he can gloat, he is frightened to see the Thung's face has been changed to look just like Doctor Bloom (because of Wichards' experiments). Bloom is so scared of this, that he runs away in fear.

After a near-fatal water landing and a daring assault on the beaches of Normandy, the commandos are confronted by Sawback, who explains that the "D" in D-Day stands for "Desertion" as he happily sends them packing.

Trivia

"The Human Scorch Versus the Sunk-Mariner!"[]

  • This story features a number of guest appearances by pop culture figures, mostly comic strip characters:
    • A framed picture of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy appears on the wall of the police commissioner's office when the Scorch meets Betsy Bean.
    • After being talked into retiring, the Scorch and Sunk-Mariner follow a yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where they are met by a "reception committee of other forgotten childhood heroes", which is composed of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, and Cowardly Lion, all elements from L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz.
    • The Happy Haven Home for Hoary Halcyon Heroes also hosts elderly versions of Mickey Mouse, Charlie Brown, Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, The Phantom, Archie Andrews, Little Lulu, Batman, and The Little King.
      In addition, the Scorch mentions an upcoming game of tiddlywinks against the Green Lampburn and the Dash, inferring that the Golden Age Green Lantern and Flash are also residents.

"A Day of Blunder!"[]

  • This story also has a guest appearance of a comic strip character:
    • Snoopy from Charles Schultz's Peanuts appears in his identity of a World War One flying ace, flying atop his doghouse alongside a bomber carrying the Hostile Commandos.
