Top-Notch Comics

by Otto Binder and Jack Binder

Release: December 1939
Format: Comic Book
Genre: Science Fiction
Audience: Adults
Content: Definite Time Travel
Original Language: English

The first two issues of Top-Notch Comics had a feature called “Scott Rand in the Worlds of Time” written by science fiction staple Otto Binder and drawn by his older brother, Jack (rather than Earl). Rand first drove his time car back to Rome in 200 A.D. where he picked up Thor. In the second episode, they went to New York in 2000 A.D. Jack Binder continued the episodes of Rand and Thor in Top-Notch 3, heading to Mars of the future, but I don’t yet know whether there were any other stories.

This title morphed into Top-Notch Laugh Comics, and was then acquired by Archie Comics. I don’t know whether there were any further adventures in time by Rand or others during the Top-Notch run.

The time car is working perfectly! We can go anywhere. . . the past or the future!
