Lou Mougin, in an article for
The Kirby Collector, wrote that the
Airboy Comics back-up feature, “Link Thorne, The Flying Fool," was first drawn by Frank Giacoia for three issues in 1946, suspended for a time by editor Ed Cronin, then revived at Cronin’s behest by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. Not only were Simon and Kirby good at creating characters, they were good at reworking existing properties. Although their stint lasted only seven issues, they put their unmistakable stamp on the strip.
These are the first two of the duo’s stories, which introduce rival flier Riot O’Hara (and if ever there was an S and K moniker, it’s that one). The stories are full of the humorous action the team was known for.
From
Airboy Comics Vol. 4 #5 and Vol. 4 #6 (1947):
