Captain's Library: Asian Avengers AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHAN CLAN "Hot Ice Cream Man" Part 1

TV series with Asian characters in the title role are a rarity.

American tv series starring Asian actors playing those characters are even rarer!

Before the current Kung Fu reboot/updating on The CW, there were less than a dozen, and the second one ever was an animated cartoon!*
Here's the never-reprinted first issue of the Gold Key comic based on the cartoon...

Writer Mark Evanier and artist Warren Tufts adapted the pilot episode "The Crown Jewel Caper" into a book-length comic tale on an incredibly-tight deadline, using an early script and storyboards.

As you'll see on Friday, there were some interesting alterations in the final aired version...

*The first series with an Asian performer as the title character, 1951's Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, about an art gallery owner/amateur sleuth starring the legendary Anna May Wong, is long-lost with all videotapes and kinescopes destroyed during a legal dispute over the defunct DuMont network's assets.

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "The Flash Meets Jerry Lewis" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Hero (along with Jerry Lewis and Renfrew)...

...behind Carmine Infantino and Bob Oksner's slightly-misleading cover lurks a fascinating tale!

Jerry Lewis and his nephew, Renfrew, arrive at the local tailor's shop just as he's hustled into a car by obvious gangster-types.

Oblivious to the blatant kidnapping, Jerry says he'll fill-in for the tailor while he's gone with his "friends"...er fiends!

Turns out the guy is the go-to man for cleaning and repairing super-villain costumes (which go through a lot of wear-and-tear), particularly The Flash's Rogues' Gallery costumes!

To be fair, it's probably a very steady gig.

But Abra Kadabra left his "magic" wand in his cape, and wants the device back!

Meanwhile, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) had visited the tailor's shop and inadvertantly lost the ring with his costume in it...

Note: As this ad at the end of the story shows, the Martian Manhunter made his final appearance (for almost five years) in the Justice League of America this same month!
Writer E Nelson Bridwell and artist Bob Oksner did a great job keeping everyone "in character" in this never-reprinted tale from DC's Adventures of Jerry Lewis #112 (1969)!
But, does this non-Silver Age canon tale mean Jerry lives in Central City?

Next week:

Superman!

Captain's Library ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS "The Flash Meets Jerry Lewis" Part 1

Last Week We Saw Jerry Lewis Meet Wonder Woman...

...so now we're presenting another of his never-reprinted encounters with denizens of the DC Universe!

By "2nd page following", we mean "tomorrow", when Refrew and you, dear reader, will see what's in the ring!

E Nelson Bridwell scripted and Bob Oksner drew this meeting of The Flash and his Rogues' Gallery with the multi-media comedy icon from DC's Adventures of Jerry Lewis #112 (1969).

And, like the Wonder Woman appearance, it's decidedly non-Silver Age (or any Age) canon!
