I like that cover and the interiors of Wanted were pretty impressive too. Probably the best drug related splash published at that time.

Leon Winik is listed as the artist for Billy the Kid in the Who's Who.

This one?

Now we know what happen to the Red Raven. He migrated south for the winter and never came back.

I can't stands it no longer. What on Earth are the "Red Tins of Mystery"? I'm married with a culinarily challenged wife, but even she hasn't served up a "mystery can". I think. What's it all about? and while we are asking questions about stories. Is the cover story about vampires or zombies? I read a review that said zombies (The Walking Dead) but cover illo made me think it was vampires.

By the way, don't get too upset about a few scratch marks on one of your treasured items. I dumped a page of Kubert's artwork for next to nothing because my little brother had scribbled on it. It could easily be fixed and probably sold for a hundred times greater price than my price.

I like the Flying Fortress, i.e. superplane, and Terry and the Pirates as well as The Owl.

I purchased Blue Ribbon for Cooper's Mr. Justice. He was more like Dr. Strange than the Spectre. But I stayed with the title because of Montana and Storm.

Thanks for checking. By the way, I noticed this ad for Hangman in Blue Ribbon 14. Looks like George Storm did the art for the ad and Meskin did the art for Ty Gor. Pep comics was a powerhouse of heroes. The Shield was Capt. America and Superman rolled up into one guy and the Hangman was a more sinister version of Batman. Only Archie could defeat them, with Montana's help. In the next issue, George Storm did the art for Ty-Gor and there was an ad for Captain Flag.

don't worry Jon I think that's a boy thing!!! my son is almost 1 and he tears the lids off my comic boxes just to throw the books on the floor!! funny story though when my daughter was about 2 I took her to the LCS to see her reaction and she went and found a Garfield comic off the rack and subsequently ripped it to shreds! Thus showing that good taste in comics can be inherited. My son at age 3 coloured in some of my B&W hardcover Barks library. He didn't even stay within the lines... I have a few big little books like that and an early issue of the Alter-Ego fanzine but it is reasonably well done.

I have been on the Palais bandwagon for a few years. That paper cutter scan reminds me of what a great variety of covers he created.

Check for the extra page attached to the centerfold. Just wondering if it gets easily lost since it is just glued in. There are two centerfolds in the above photo. The extra page is attached to the page on the far left which is also at the right middle part of the picture. OK? Seems crazy but look at the centerfold and check for attachments. You guys already counted pages I guess. So this may not be that important but it would make me feel better to know that someone has the same number of pages in the same order.

I like those early Detective comics so much that I purchased these copies.

Early Blackhawks are fun to collect because they have a little more variety.

Some of those early Green Mask covers were pretty good.

I think that MM 27 is also a Hitler cover.

Paul Reinman was pretty tame when working for DC but he made some gruesome splash pages for MLJ. Thanks for posting this BB. Many people just care only about the covers and tend to not pay much attention to the inside. Reinman did some cool material for the Hangman and Black Hood for MLJ. I don't see any work on Hangman but did find Reinman art for Bentley of Scotland Yard (Pep 32 above) and Fireball in Pep. George Storm (the creator) did that very odd early work on Hangman and King did some work in the middle. Fuje did a lot of great work on Hangman before Archie chased him away.

They roared ahead with the Black Cat but many of the others were forgotten and stories were published elsewhere. Strange Story turned into several comics like Witches Tales, Tomb of Terror and Chamber of Chills. and even the Black Cat became a horror comic. Maybe they held back a few publications due to the war effort but the superheroes were phased out in favor of other publications and they didn't try again until the sixties. Powell's art was great in every genre, western, horror, romance and superheroes. Thanks to someone for making the gif. Maybe it was flea...

I found a pulp, that had a red robot cover, in one of my storage boxes . Inside there was a short bio of the artist who trained with St. John. I added a few scans from the pulp art website.

Harvey focused on the franchise heroes like Joe Palooka, Terry and the Pirates and Green Hornet (and horror comics). I like to imagine that the nifty Strange Stories cover by Fuji and the Schomburg Boy Heroes cover are still in someone's vault. Stories were printed in other comics or smaller versions were sent to subscribers.

Stuntman, Boy Heroes, Strange Stories and the Flying Fool were all lost during the Harvey implosion. Ads are from Black Cat 1 and 4. The inventory was reduced by 4 or 5. Flash Gordon and Bruce Gentry were also crossed off the list. How many others? I never knew that Nutty was from Harvey. I thought it was Nedor. The Clown issue that I purchased recently was part of the Harvey family too.

Here's one from GREEN HORNET #16. mm Here is an ad for Stuntman 3.

I've a few of these,love them.Black and white,sometimes not the greatest printing inside,like a bad carbon copy,but love them. I have that one too but none of the others. Love that Avon giant.

Very nice Todd. Those pulps go together well.
