I'm not sure if thats supposed to be a film actress or a model or someone Jack actually knew that had an interesting face and he just wanted to draw it. But if it had to be an actress, possibly Jane Fonda,Ann Margaret or Brigitte Bardot

Not a comic, but a person: an unknown actress from 1962 (FF 9, page 10). It looks like Kirby drew her from a photo, but who might she be? Any ideas? I had to google the image (yours didn't show up for me). She sort of resembles Brigitte Bardot as she appeared in the late 50s, specifically in "And God Created Woman." YMMV. ETA: Ish beat me to it, along with some strong alternatives. |

Thanks! As you say, it could just be any photo he had lying around. By Googling images I'm torn between Ann Margret and Bardot. I wish we had the original pencils, to see how thick the eye make up was supposed to be that would clinch it.

Or possible Bardot but only in some photos, not others. Fonda is certainly possible, but I don't think it's a great likeness. From the choices I'm voting Ann Margaret. You can't lose between those 3 in 1962 |

Not a comic, but I'm so excited by this that I had to share it *somewhere*.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this several years ago on the old board, but I've been haunted by a memory of a scene from a movie I saw on TV in the 1960's when I was a little kid. The scene was so bizarre that I didn't trust that my memory of it was correct; I was quite likely to have garbled the elements quite a bit, but here's the way I remembered it:
A man is walking outside on the empty lawn of a large manor. He's carrying an umbrella. A drip falls from inside the umbrella. He reaches up to touch the drip--it's BLOOD!
Well, yesterday I thought about this memory again, and decided to give the ol' Google search another try, and this time--bingo! I finally found it!
"The Dark Past", a Freudian film noir from 1948, features an eerie dream sequence where a man is wandering in the rain in an open landscape, carrying an umbrella. He's getting wet, and reaches up to find a hole in the umbrella where the rain is coming through. He finds he can't run out of the rain because there are now prison bars all around him, trapping him under the leaking umbrella as he panics and screams.
The dream sequence was shown in negative, so the drops falling inside the umbrella were dark, looking like blood in black and white!
Having finally seen the clip again after at least 45 years, I'm not surprised that it freaked me out and stuck with me in some corner of my brain. It's a very weird and disturbing scene, and the negative film would certainly have gotten my attention, although I didn't remember that aspect of it. The manor was completely absent from the scene, so I must have spliced that in from some other movie in an attempt to provide a setting for what was in fact a minimalist scene (a couple of trees or shrubs were there, but it was mostly an eerie blank background).

Sounds like a film I should check out. Here's something I saw on TV as a child that I probably will never find again. It must have played around 1962-1964. Probably a TV anthology show.It had aired about 9 or 10PM.Don't know if it was a current show or something from the 50s. The plot:
An amateur photographer invents a fluid. If he applies the fluid to someone's face on a photo,overnight the real person's face will get distorted just like the picture did. So for example, since he has many people he wants to get even with, if he used the fluid to "white-out" someone's eye, that next morning the victim awakes with an eye missing. So off he goes,gaining revenge on everyone. He gets drunks in celebration in his dark room, knocking over the bottle of fluid before he passes out. Of course he has his own photo on the table with the bottle of fluid. He wakes up and we see the most disgusting,distorted face you can imagine. When I saw this at age 8 it freightened the crap out if me and I vowed never to watch that show again. Obviously not the Twilight Zone nor The Outer Limits or Thriller. What episode was it?

Not certain where you saw this, but I think I know the story. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was included in the Amicus anthology The Vault of Horror from 1973 and starred Tom Baker as the painter. Perhaps you can work backwards from here? |

I don't even remember the name of that TV anthology show.Damn that its not available anywhere on home video or internet. I recall it took a few minutes before you saw the effect the fluid had on his face as they wrung all the tension as was possible.That face drove me screaming out of the living room. 1961? So I was 7 years old. No wonder silly putty gives me the shivers Thanks MDG. A job well done |

Can anyone remind me what issue this would be? Some sort of Shazam issue from the 70s. One of the stories stars the full Shazam Family. It reprints the tale where Black Adam returns and is defeated by Uncle Marvel  There's also a story where Cap Marvel jnr takes on some aliens that are, at one point, stealing (literally) candy from a baby! I found that quite shocking as a youngster. |

As far as I can tell without actually owning the series, Black Adam only appeared in one issue of Shazam, which was #28. GCD doesn't mentioned any kind of Captain Marvel Jr. story in this issue, but I'm not sure what else it could be. Black Adam only had a handful of appearances pre-Crisis and none of the others look any more likely.  |

I know there were a few 100 Page Super Spectaculars that were Shazam based. |

This might be from Shazam! #8, from a story originally reprinted in 1945 in Marvel Family #1. I don't remember a story about candy-stealing aliens but it does have the first Mary Marvel and a couple of Tawky Tawny stories. (Gawd, I love Tawky Tawny!)
I think I still have Shazam! #8 and if I can find it I'll see if this exact panel is in it. I hope I'm not confusing it with a different reprint comic.

Definitely a GA reprint--the story's familiar, but I don't remember if I read it or read an article talking about it (one time Uncle marvel saved the day--essentially using the type of gimmick Superman used to get rid of mxyzpltk. |

Shazam #8 seems like a good bet. GCD shows that it does reprint the story from Marvel Family #1. That was Black Adam's only Golden Age appearance, so that kinda narrows things down.
