Yeah, isn't it great? Had to have it. Ghost Rider #1 gets all the love, but this isn't far behind. -
Many 1940s/50s Australian comics are found in lower grades, if at all. But occasionally you get a gem - like this Fight #12. I bought this from an online catalogue that had small scans and no grade. I lucked out. The cover is from Fight #74 - the only problem being that the Tiger Girl story advertised on the cover is not in the Australian edition! There is a story featuring the character Starlight - written by Ann Adams. How many women writers were there in comics at the time?

Guessing that's a variation on cane toad golf? -
Yeah, he doesn't look too worried, does he? -

Not for the first time, I have fought a losing battle with my inner completist (IC). Many pages back in this thread I said that I had completed my set of 24 Mobil Disney giveaway comics from the early 1960s. IC took a dim view of that, because 21 of the comics were the Australian edition and the other three were produced for the New Zealand market. The discussion at the time went something like this AJD: aha - got a #9 at last. The quest is over! IC: dude, seriously? It has a staple rather than being glued and - worst of all - it has a map of frickin' New Zealand on the back! AJD: yeah, but the cover and contents are identical, other than the tiny indicia. IC: you know I'm not going to let this rest, don't you? AJD: But there are other shiny things to pursue. IC: I'll bug you about those too. Do you think I'm a one trick pony? Which reminds me, how are you going with those EC sci-fi and war annuals? Sigh, bowing to the inevitable, several years later I now have all 24 Australian editions. I now have to decide what to do with the NZ editions of #1, 9, 14 and 17. Again, it was #9 which took the longest to hunt down. Here's the Australian edition that finally shut the IC up - at least on this topic.

More than "much better", I think. It was a powerful piece pretty much across the board. It looked great (they seem to have some real money to put into production) and the acting was good from all of the cast. And JW was terrific in her interactions with the alien villain.
