![]() A Touring package added such amenities as leather upholstery, a power sunroof, an upgraded sound system and cruise control.Īs if the cooking-version RX-7 didn't handle well enough, there was also an R1 package that included such performance upgrades as Z-rated tires, dual oil coolers, a modest rear spoiler, a front air dam and special suspension tuning. Even the base edition was rather well equipped with ABS, air conditioning, central locking, electric window lifts and a driver-side airbag. Introduced as an early 1993 model, the car came in three trim levels. All of which make this fascinating car a natural Used Car Classic.Ĭhanges were few to the third-gen RX-7 during its brief run in the American market. And thanks to the magic of depreciation, third-gen RX-7s are no longer particularly pricey. The last of the RX-7s is a rare flower indeed: a no-compromise enthusiast's car built in small numbers and with little thought given to the mundane practicalities that automakers usually obsess over. Supercar territory at the time, in other words. This, combined with the twin-turbo rotary that makes 255 bhp, meant 0-60-mph times in the mid-5-second range and a top speed of 160 mph. each, for instance) meant the third-gen car came in at an anorexic 2800 lb. An extreme weight-loss program (the seats are just 33 lb. "(It's) an addicting blend of power, roadholding and exquisite sheet-metal curves.a driver's car, if there ever was one," we said in a 1993 review. 9976 for the 1993 model year, 34 and 5, according to the website But what a car it was and still is. Altogether, Mazda sold just 13,879 cars in the U.S. The third-generation RX-7 was sold here for only three years, although it did soldier on in its native Japan until mid-year 2002. At the same time, the bursting of Japan's bubble economy also sent Mazda into a financial tailspin, leading to a takeover by in late 1995 and a complete reevaluation of the company's products and rotary engine plans. American sports-car fans, who had come to love the first two generations of Mazda's cheap-and-cheerful RX-7s, left showrooms stunned with sticker shock after viewing the all-new, third-generation twin-turbo RX-7 when it made its debut for 1993.Ī $32,000-plus price tag doomed the third-gen RX-7 to a brief life span in the U.S. Unfortunately, it did matter to the marketplace. The company was determined to build one of the world's best sports cars, and the sequential twin-turbo rotary engine was to be its centerpiece. The fact that it was fiendishly complex and costly didn't seem to matter much to Mazda management. But Mazda's system was to be mass-produced. Porsche had already built something similar for its exotic 959. In a nutshell, the system consists of a small turbo that provides boost to the 1.3-liter twin-rotor at low engine speeds, plus a second turbo that comes into play only in the upper half of the rev range. It was a time when Mazda's corporate culture seemed to be ruled by wild-eyed engineers rather than the stingy accountants and marketing mavens that typically dominate most of the world's automakers.įrom this period emerged not only another iteration of the Wankel engine, but one with a highly unusual sequential twin-turbo system. The Japanese economy was booming, and was continuing at full throttle to develop its oddball rotary engine with increasingly exotic and expensive versions. Extraordinary things were going on at Mazda in the early 1990s. The National Cartoonists' Society recognized Boltinoff's contributions with two of its category awards, one for syndicated humor and the other for his work in comic books. It's also widely imitated - in fact, King's own Slylock Fox frequently does puzzles of that sort. A familiar favorite among the more observant readers of all ages, Hocus Focus has been running for years and years, in more than 300 newspapers worldwide. His most famous syndicated work was probably Hocus Focus, a two- panel cartoon, distributed by King Features, in which the two pictures looked extremely similar, and readers were challenged to find at least six minor differences between them. That same year, an editor told him it was impossible to put a cartoon on the business page, because business was too serious, and Boltinoff responded with Stoker the Broker - which ran until well into the 1990s. Other syndication successes include Woody Forrest, a minor but long-lasting strip distributed by a very small outfit called Conley Feature Syndicate, and King Features Syndicate's Nubbin, which he took over from George Crenshaw ( Belvedere) in 1960. His first success in that area was This & That, which was done by a variety of cartoonists during its 14-year run. Meanwhile, he continued freelancing, and made efforts to break into syndication as well. By the time his DC work ended, there was relatively little humor, teenage or otherwise, being published in comic books, and therefore not much room for Henry Boltinoff. His last DC creation was Cap's Hobby Hints, which replaced all the other series in the late 1960s. He did similar work for Harvey Comics, Fawcett Publications, and other comic book publishers, but that was dwarfed by his DC output. ![]() But the fillers continued until the early 1970s, and appeared in most DC issues during all that time. Dover & Clover was the only Boltinoff creation ever to appear on a DC cover - it took that spot away from Green Arrow in 1945.ĭover & Clover ended in 1947, and the rest of Boltinoff's longer work was gone soon after. Also, for More Fun Comics, he created a feature called Dover & Clover, about a pair of identical twins who went into the detective business, and were so bad at it, they couldn't be fully relied on to detect which was which. Following the success of Archie, DC was publishing quite a bit of teenage humor, and Boltinoff did several stories for Buzzy, Leave It to Binky, A Date with Judy and other titles in that line. In the mid-1940s, Boltinoff started doing longer stories for DC. Henry later said having his brother as an editor never made it easier to sell a page - harder, if anything, with both striving to avoid any appearance of favoritism. Murray Boltinoff spent most of his career at DC, editing such titles as Challengers of the Unknown, Legion of Super Heroes and Doom Patrol. When Ellsworth complained (as editors often do) of overwork, Henry Boltinoff suggested his brother, Murray, as an assistant. The only certainty was that practically every DC comic book would contain something by Henry Boltinoff. They were mixed randomly, with "On the Planet Og" sometimes turning up in Tomahawk and sometimes in Tales of the Unexpected and "Hy Wire" sometimes in Strange Adventures and sometimes in Superman. They began seeing print in 1940, and continued for decades.Ĭasey the Cop, Super Turtle, Jerry the Jitterbug, Homer, Doctor Rocket, Moolah the Mystic, Cora the Carhop, Little Pete, Chief Hot Foot these are only a few of the characters Boltinoff created for DC. Ellsworth gave him a go-ahead to submit fillers, ranging from half-page gags to tiny stories in the 2-3 page range. Two years after that, he called on Whitney Ellsworth, DC's editor, whom he'd come to know while making the magazine rounds, and asked for steady work. ![]() Then he freelanced for magazines, selling hundreds of cartoons to Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal etc. He worked there from 1933 until the paper folded, in 1937. He was a professional cartoonist before he was out of his teens, drawing pictures for the theatre section of The New York American, where his brother, Murray, was an assistant editor. And tho generations of comic book readers know him almost exclusively for his DC work, the vast majority of his millions of fans know absolutely nothing about anything he's done in comic books.īoltinoff was born in 1914 in New York City. Henry Boltinoff never worked on Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman or any of the other long-lasting and numerous superheroes thatįorm the bulk of DC Comics' output over the past two-thirds of a century - and yet, his work has probably appeared in more individual DC issues than that of any other creator.
