    Took me years to notice the 2D title! Maybe my focus was elsewhere. I spent entire decades not liking this cover before realizing belatedly that I like it a lot. I was just now trying to figure out what is so different about this particular cover, why it stands apart from its near contemporaries - and apart from the sheer range of colors [I;'m a sucker for bright reds of course], it seems to me that the dramatic effect is heightened beyond most later Planet covers because the heroine is in direst peril of becoming tenderloin [note the skull in the corner], is dressed for the ballroom [slit skirt on a Demon planet, no less, and how do you fire this silly pistol anyway? And why hasnt Flash rescued me yet?] I also think the vignette in the background is kind of hilarious. Is that a female lizard demon, perhaps? And is he glad to see her? Are we looking at the Fiction House equivalent of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice? And yet I think Doolin was simply auto assembling according to the usual formula, not consciously referencing anything of this. First you innu, then you endo.

    Finally found one of these with the right colors.

    Did anyone here land the Church #12? The color strike was fairly strong going by the scan.

    I've adopted a similar approach. Twenty years on, I only have about a third of the run, but they are the issues I like most [with two or three of those still to get], and all keepers. Upgrading is a labor of love, that's for sure.

    That presents astonishingly well for the given grade.
