15 Across has me stumped. I've got the rest. If 15 Across had one more letter before the intersection with 10 Down, I'd have it. I have an eight-letter answer but not a seven. Could be Centaur, if 10 down is Sheena, which fits with 11 Across being Harold Gray. Thing that confuses it, a bit, is many of the Dynamite heroes were from Nedor, which was also known as Ned Pines, Better, and Standard; but, none of those fit. I finally thought of Centaur as I was going to sleep last night, but like you, I couldn't find a connection to Dynamite. |

Congratulations to
codystarbuck
for being the first to complete this !
Coming soon... 1939 !

Glad we have some participants.
I'm planning on doing this for a while.
It was fun putting it together.

Nice idea, shaky execution, with much better promo art from Jerry Bingham and Clarke Hawbaker.  |

Yeah, the execution was shaky, but not a bad idea using public domain characters.
Nice Neal Adams-ish cover though

Ok, someone smarter than me,
Why does my pic from Flickr appears in portrait there but landscape here ?
How can I correct it ?

Ok, someone smarter than me, Why does my pic from Flickr appears in portrait there but landscape here ? How can I correct it ? No idea, but I was able to fix it for you by opening it in a new photo editor and saving it under a new name.  You might save yourself a lot of aggravation by just taking a screen shot of the next crossword instead of printing it out and then photographing it  |

You have done very well !
Most of the answers you don't have yet are from non-Big Two titles and characters.
You're correct on what you've figured out to this point.

All correct except 44 across.
You asked "again" ?
Your suspicion was correct that it's a different answer.
