Couldn't recall seeing yours posted, but i knew you had to have one since you are only one certain book away from completing the Baker St. John Romance run. Now that's a book that I've never seen for sale anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had color touch removed Is that white line in the lower left the "removal"? I got my copy in a Feebay lot in 2009. It was kinda hidden behind the other books. I don't recall seeing Sqeggs copy sell on feebay, otherwise I'd have bid on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it's locked up in plastic; it has some 41 pages of wonderful Baker art inside. You need a low grade reader of this one. (I do, too, for that matter...)

Dr. Love Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 One in a blue moon, blue would print as purple. I had an issue of another title, same thing. It's a rarity. Nice one, Danny! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rarity. Nice one, Danny! That happens sometimes, but also, as the colors mellow over time, due to light exposure, etc., the blues often become closer to purple. I've seen it many times, especially on certain EC covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Mine is a cherry copy, color-wise. Although, I often wonder if it's possible to square up the spine to it's correct right angle. As you can see, the spine is starting to lean over a little. Does anyone know if that can be fixed somehow? pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to get that one squared up. These squarebound giants look so good when the spines are properly square and aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sqeggs Posted October 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2018 Here's my copy. I'd have to dig it out to double check, but the spine on this one may not be entirely square either. sagii, 29dukedog, pmpknface and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) And, of course, there's some great ambiguous dialog on the cover of this issue! Unfortunately, some of the dialog bubble is cut off on my copy. The cover of Silver's copy has a better cut.

sagii Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Great books everyone. I couldn't resist snagging another copy of this one when it was auctioned off on eBay last week.
