Before Dr Strange, but after Dr Fate, Earth was protected by...The Purple Claw!

This story from Purple Claw #1 (1952) was penciled by Bob Brown and inked by David Gantz.

Note: William Robert Brown used both "Bob Brown" and "Bill Brown" on his early work, so some think he's two different artists. "Bob" and "Bill" are the same man.

The Purple Claw title only ran three issues, but the stories were reprinted numerous times, giving the impression the character lasted a lot longer than he actually did.
