And why are lie detector operators always old men? And isn't procedure that only one (probably old) man delivers the test? And that guy on the left - why doesn't he just beat the answers he wants out of that stoned gorilla? (Come on - they've obviously drugged him. Why, he could snap those bonds in a second with his fantastic gorilla strength! To say nothing of the fantastic gorilla weapons that we knew nothing about, UNTIL YOU TOLD US, YOU STUPID GORILLA!) This is why humans always win in these stories. That gorilla looks high, not smug. And why are lie detector operators always old men?

There's even one story in #53 that is continued from a story in the previous issue. I hope they can find what they need to collect the Captain Comet stories that run in several of the earlier issues. DC has lots of earlier work that could make great Showcase volumes including Infantino art on Detective Chimp, Gil Kane art on Rex the Wonder Dog and various western titles, old issues of Tomahawk and great art from Joe Kubert and Russ Heath on the first 24 issues of The Brave and the Bold. #53 is the first code-approved issue and it’s been mentioned that they started there because that’s the first issue they had the full art they needed for reprinting.

No, I don't know why they started there. But it should have plenty of space gorilla action! Actually, yeah, DC released a Showcase volume spanning #53 to 74 of this series.

He's smiling because he knows humans have no chance against their super-weapons. I love the smug look on that gorilla’s face!
