Odysseus Denied: Remembering Russ Heath's Birthday

 Today would be the 96th birthday of artist Russ Heath (born Sep. 29, 1926). I almost missed the chance to make a birthday post for him, since I'd already posted all the panels I knew of by him, but I discovered this story just in time for his birthday. On the Comic Art Fans website, an art collector posted all the pages that were done of an unfinished story, "Odysseus Denied," that was intended for a Warren magazine but was never completed. Story by Bruce Jones, art by Russ Heath.
