Johnny hazard: Tryout panel 1943 (1st Brandy)

A single panel from the second tryout Johnny Hazard daily, drawn ca 1943 before the strip actually began. It's an alternative version of a scene talking place approximately a month into the published run of the strip (July 7, 1944), where Hazard first meets beautiful photographer Brandy – a key moment in Hazard-ous history. The first month of Hazard dailies presented an introductory airplane/air battle sequence establishing the strip and characters, but it's not until this scene with Brandy that Robbins began exploring the relationships between characters in the strip. This might therefore have been the first scene Robbins nailed down when he was planning his new feature.
