What jumps out at me with this very early entry for Magno, from Super-Mystery #2 (1940), is not the Harry Lucey artwork, which is very good, but the eye-popping primary colors. Other publishers of the time also used bright colors (Quality and Fox come to mind), but I think this job rises above them, with its imaginative use of colors for an earth-boring machine (page 12). The colorist must have been having fun.

So the ray melts giant, multi-inch thick steel railroad bridges, but can also be used to turn people into slaves?
What the heck is the power dial labelled?
1 = slave
2 = light toast
3 = dark toast
4 = turns elephants into ducks
5 = melt railroad bridges
Brian, and who knows how many more applications that power dial has in the app store?!
