It's a McGuffin isn't it? The fact that she is dutch is what makes the cover memorable. McGuffin? It isn't a Hitchcock movie. Unless it's Foreign Correspondent with the windmill scene.

- hooded vigilantes reminiscent of KKK -check - buxom blonde chained in shackles- check - blonde about to be lowered onto death machine- check - handsome hero severely in the bg shooting to no avail- check -drawn by Alex Schomburg- check, check, check!! Michael, you've been a busy boy.

That's one nice piece of Baker pulchritude.

Terrific tribute. The Baker book that was due out this month has been pushed back to September.

Hi Ron. Does he have this stuff on a web site somewhere? Hi Michael, Jon has a 5 page ad in this year's OSPG. There's contact info there. He's going to be set up in New York this year and he's always at Chicago. Believe me, once he starts talking he won't let you go. His prices for 9.6 Zips are 5x Guide, and 9.8's are 8X I think. There's no GPA on most of his books, so why bother. The price on the Terrific in 9.4 is $50,000. I'm sure he still has it.

I met Jon Verzyl for the first time in Chicago. I know all the stories, but I loved hearing them from him. Of course he was trying to sell me a comic or 2 from his Mile High Zip run. I was more interested in his MH Terrific #5, not that I had a snowball's chance of ever getting it.

From Chicago.

Looks 6.0-ish. What's the PQ like? OW or OW/W. Bought it in a PGX slab. I'll tell you the grade it was when I get it regraded.

This is getting graded in Chicago.

Getting this one graded in Chjcago .

Wow, that's a nice Whitman cover.

You never see that book in that grade. Baker cover to boot.

Despite the label, the 29 is a Shores cover.

Excellent Roy. One great page.

Here's my copy. Believe I got it off the boards.

$2500 for a tanned-edges 3.5 copy is really steep. Still, this is definitely really rare. I just saw a copy at last weekend's show in TO. I think the price was in the 1k range.

Ah yes. I was an under-bidder and you got a nice book.

Those Maurice Whitman Planet covers are da bomb.

Schomburg?

I completely agree with your choice in comics.

I don't have any original Woolrich, but this trade paperback (quite rare on it's own, I'm sure) has a disturbing cover and title. Very European.

(thumbs u very nice!

I've never seen this before. Great Whitman cover. Didn't know he designed She-hulk.
