I can't find the Tom Mix Destry story.
UPDATE: I was misreading Woolfolk's Captain Marvel Junior notation as "plane" instead of "phone"; that the editors changed the fourth dimension to the fifth didn't make it any easier tracking down the story by search engine.

"The 4th Dimensional Elephant" from CMJ #119 is credited to William Woolfolk in the GCD's listings for Shazam! From the 40's to the '70's. There's no other CMJ story that fits the description. The plane must have been changed to an elephant in editorial. Nice trick if you can do it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSince the elephant story came out at five pages long and half a decade later, my guess would be that the plane story wasn't published (for whatever reason) and Woolfolk reused the 4th dimension concept to start from scratch with an elephant. Still a nice trick...
ReplyDeleteI think "Destry rides again" might be "D'arcy rides again," because two bad guys named D'Arcy show up in the Tom Mix story in WOW COMICS #68 ("Challenge to Death").
