• Comic books took advantage of the popularity monster and science fiction movies had in the 1950's and early 60's . It seems like any odd idea for a creature could become the basis for a story; but the fellow with the fiery blowholes on this early 1960's World's Finest cover isn't the oddest thing you see. Look at the size that the diminutive Bat-Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk appear to be. They seem much larger than Superman. I am guessing that they were ment to be in the foreground, like Batman and Robin. Because Bat-Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk are high in the picture plane, the figures look to be in the background, and giants. If they overlapped the creature's fire jets they would seem closer.
GERR!
