29dukedog Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It seems there hasn't been a whole lot of stuff to choose from in recent months. I was lucky to find this one a few weeks ago, and that's only because a fellow boardie was kind enough to reply to my post in WTB. Is #11 the harder to find issue of the run? I searched the Heritage archives and came across one issue that sold back in 2004. I'd say #11 is found less frequently than other issues of Pictorial Romances. The toughest issues of this title, though, seem to be #14 and #23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're waiting for the pic, can you tell us anything about the page? The title of the story? The book it's from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're waiting for the pic, can you tell us anything about the page? The title of the story? The book it's from? I mistakenly called it a splash...it's a panel page (4 panels in total) with the top half of the page being a half splash. It's a page from the 1st Flamingo story circa late 1940's/1950 or so. Apparently it was unpublished until the 80's when it was printed for the first time. The page contains the first actual appearance of Flamingo in detail. It's quite pretty.

Doohickamabob Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I finally snapped a pic of the page. That's full-on kickarse. The last panel appears to be one of the earliest recorded instances of the "Wait.... What?" meme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Owl Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I finally snapped a pic of the page. Great page Roy Nobody in comics can capture the female form as well as Baker did. I'd love to own an Original Baker piece, especially a South Sea girl splash page. Anyway, congrats on a beautiful comic page by one of greatest artists in comics.

Awesome Roy, congrats on the great purchase I'm sure you probably know the story...this OA was printed later on in comic form through Golden Features but this OA wasn't for the dailies. I'm thinking maybe they decided to do the dailies so they never published this piece in a comic in the early 50's. They did however do this same storyline in the dailies.
