Review
Most of the stories are set ups for the joke ending. As such it's a little disappointing after the first volume. The art is quite good, some excellent. I noticed more in this volume than in the first the lack of diversity. Again women almost don't exist in this volume. There's only one main female in a story and she only survives the first couple of pages. And despite lots of aliens there are no blacks or orientals in any of the stories. I know you shouldn't judge old stories by the standards of today. But at the time DC and Marvel were being way more inclusive.
