Comics Crossovers:
In one of Golden Age comics' rare but casual crossovers, Judy Jackson, rival of reporter-hero Scoop Mason, is attending the same Governor's ball in the Bahamas as Newsreel cameraman Speed Martin. (The Funnies 051, 1941)
Then in the very next issue, Scoop Mason himself shows up to take in a football game! (The Funnies 052, 1941)
ADDENDUM: I just realized that the team that they're watching is Elmhurst College featuring star player Wally Williams, from his own feature in Popular Comics. Layers upon layers!
the Looming Spectre of Death:
Perhaps the most understated Looming Spectre of Death of all time, from the Philo Vance story "Murder Rings the Bell." (The Funnies 059, 1941)
Another, very cheeky Death, very appropriately wearing a mask. (The Funnies 062, 1941)
Presented Without Comment:
(The Funnies 062, 1941)
