One of the Weird Things About This Series...
...is that it reads like a series of one-shot stories about different doctors!


In the tale from the previous issue of Ben Casey, Dr Dazzler is shown to have acrophobia!
Yet here he is, merrily prancing around the building's superstructure without a care in the world!
Considering the same writer, Carl Memling, wrote all the Dr Dan Dazzler stories, the only way I can attribute this inconsistency is that they were initially-scripted as different doctors at the same hospital, but the (unknown) editor decided to make the feature about one doctor and just had whatever name was in the script relettered!
I'd also point out that, in every story, "Dr Dazzler" is drawn with different hair and facial features ranging from a callow 20-something with a full head of hair, to a middle-aged guy with a receding hairline!
It's a 'medical' mystery that'll never be solved...
