We Return to Our Monthly Installment of Dr Dan Dazzler...
...the interne (as they spelled it back then) who never looks the same two issues in a row!
Written by Carl Memling and illustrated by Norman Nodel, this third tale of Dr Dan Dazzler from Dell's Ben Casey #4 (1962) shows us a different visual for the character than his previous appearance HERE!
Then, he's under 25, with a full head of blond hair!
But in his premiere tale HERE, he looks as he does now...early-30s with receding brown hair!
I wonder if this was meant to be a feature about a group of doctors working at a given hospital like "Internes of Central Hospital" or somesuch.
But they decided, after the art was rendered, to just change the name and the captions and make several doctors just one doctor, with, easily, the silliest name they could think of!
But they didn't modify the art to give the character a consistent look!
It's just a theory, and we'll never know the answer.
