I agree, but.... if you have a WK book to submit I think it might be a good strategy to submit some Econ books with it.

I wonder if mixing it in with a WK made it move faster since they opened the package immediately? My Econ sub was delivered 5/30, but wasn't "opened and SFG" until 8/11. Technically, your econ sub was "delivered" almost 2 months after mine, but was "opened" 2 weeks before mine. Maybe the lesson is that we all need to write WK on ALL of our submissions (or at least include 1 WK comic with our orders)

Price Drop: All Spirit covers $9.99 each + shipping

I'm 8/11. Does anyone have an earlier Econ sub that hasn't made it past SFG? Let's figure out exactly what day/week the status is changing to GEI.

I'm going to imagine Dan Decarlo colored it, and leave it at that.

That hat kind of looks like the shape of a Tom Mix hat

My 8/11 2021 Sub still at SFG I've heard people talking about "tighter grading" right now. So, not only a long TAT, but tighter (lower) grades. Ugh

I just saw a UK TOS 40 for sale in the sales section of the boards if anyone's interested.

The card stock can slowly be removed, but it's not easy. It'll take some time. I wouldn't recommend it. Just enjoy it like this. $12 + shipping

I do find the literal "drawing swipes" to be the most fascinating myself, especially when they're barely changed at all.

Do you mean this one? I guess the "idea" is similar.

From the "Fran Frazer" story of Top-Notch Comics 21 (what??? you've never heard of Fran Frazer???) Fran and Hal find themselves trapped in an Arabian Chieftain's home. They hide in a Harem room and put on "Harem" disguises. Good plan... who could ever figure this out? Fran is at least a woman (although she's white), but Hal is a muscular man. But yes! The disguises work! The German villain, Von Berg is especially fooled and falls in love/lust with Hal. In the 2nd panel Fran speaks Pig-latin to Hal to communicate (these two are regular 007s)

Lots of small flaws including staining & dust/sun shadows, but the comic is structurally nice & secure at the staples. These are such thick comics it's a wonder they've stayed in one piece.
