I was advised this morning by Ben Noble of the very sad news that Bill Alexander has passed away at the age of 66. Bill and I shared a love of variants and he gave a lot to the hobby, not least this thread. He was a kindred spirit and I will miss his emails popping up in my inbox and the 'state of the hobby' discussions which would ensue.

Rest In Peace, Bill.

I'm sorry to hear this. Although I never met Bill in person, we talked about these variants a dozen times online. He was a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I'll post a couple that I may have in the past.

Still wonder how Baker came across this during his travels.

Baker was famous for using reference art. I'll bet he fell in love with this beauty

Look on my item ye mighty and despair!

A rarity from that period in which Baker was working for Quality under the pen name "Ogden Whitney." 

Wartime Romances 9 may have a Matt Baker, cover but True War Romances 9 sure doesn't. Never saw a mislabeled CGC book before

Surprised the first published Action 1 ad books sold for the least of the three. MF 31 came first and sold for the least. Although the New Adventure and Detective have better covers. But in this case, the ad is the thing

I'm watching this one. First printed picture of Supes, a month earlier

Pooch!
