Don't get me started, but I'll have to see the treatment of the art before making any final judgement. Reprints of golden age comics vary greatly with their faithfulness to the original and eye appeal. That's usually the tradeoff one has to make. Expensive, scarce GA book or something hassle-free to buy that collects all the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew, this red-headed gal in front is a real piece of work. "When the police came, I-I gave YOUR name, Hope! Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing...." Probably posted this before but happy to post again. Love this cover - my question is whether you would even tell Hope you gave the cops her name when you walked in or would you wait to see what happened before you tell her?

Popular Post Darwination Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I put a couple of Baker splashes up just now I've worked from an Everett Arnold sweat magazine over at Flickr. The first's really good. From the issue below. If you see a cover on my Flickr (you can just click the image below to get there, pretty cool), you can check the placard for a little information on the pub (if I'm feeling wordy) and often a mediafire link to the .cbr along with a link to the pub on my Internet Archive shelf and occasionally a link to a blog post for a deeper dive.

Dr. Love Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 That quite the copy there is actually quite the copy here. Recently graded, and now second highest behind a 6.5 out of 17 in the census. Your book, Lady Death? MBFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
