...and you can't really appreciate this beautiful linework unless you see it up close. I'm not sure who the artist is on these stories. Vince Fago is my best guess, but that's based on memory alone because I can't find anything to confirm it. I remember that Vince Fago had a very distinctive lettering style, too...and that lettering shows up in these pages.
I only have this one issue of Super Rabbit, and I haven't been able to find very much info on the Internet. I found this cover (below) which was credited to Vince Fago. If he drew that cover, then he probably drew this story.

What I have been able to find out is that Super Rabbit was created by Ernie Hart and appeared in the Timely comic book line. Super Rabbit's appearance changed pretty drastically over the course of just a few issues. You can see the morphing of Super Rabbit at this great website that features cover galleries of many Atlas and Timely Comics. This was the publishing house that eventually became Marvel Comics, but in the 1950's they published an enormous range of magazine and comic book styles and genres.

Hiya, Charlie...good to hear from you again! I'm really glad you liked the Super Rabbit post...comments like yours make me keep pushing on to post good stuff on a regular basis. I look forward to seeing your post on the Vince Fago Terrytoons comics, and I'd love to see more Jim Tyer comics like the last one you posted. Stay tuned, OK? Talk to you later...--Sherm
I thought `vince Fago was the editor and Al Fago the brother who drew. But I checked and I may have been wrong. Still, Vince took over Peter Rabbit in the late forties in a very subdued style, so who was the lively one of the two?
Now this is who should have led the Pet Avengers!
