I think this is the one you remembered The Wild Ride of Mr Hyde also That's My Pop by Nicholas Alascia & The Mighty Midgets by Jack Keller

 

What comic and issue # is that Clint Curtis from? And is that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs pic from an Issue or is it a special print? and if that is an issue which one? I noticed the Packards in both so I want to find them. Thanks for posting all these awesome pics.

 

The Packard car scene you noted was not in the comic books to my knowledge. see attached thumbnail from Xenozoic Tales #12 APr 1992...packard ? Drags Hizzoner came from Hot Rod Comics Dec 1952 Vol1 #6

You are welcome. It has been great fun to reread these old issues as I
scan them. Hopefully other older folks might remember a story or two also. The art ranges from fair to excellent throughout the period and the
total portfolio produced by some artists was simply amazing. The story lines are dated, but that's the fun of it.
