I agree ... great stuff. Nice lurid examples of classic Timely! Looks like a nice line up in USA #5!

Nedor splashes are often much better than the covers!

Did those Don Winslow comics have the biggest indicia ever?

Did those Don Winslow comics have the biggest indicia ever?

 

From my small collection of G.A. books it appears that Fawcett's in general have large readable indicias. I checked Hopalong and Whiz and found similar indicias.

 

 

If they are the largest ever, perhaps others with larger G.A. collections can chime in.

 

This indica is not quite as clear, but a visual check shows the lettering is the same size as in the Winslow book.

Great stuff, Marvel Mystery Comics, Americas Best. The USA Comic splash appears to be a swipe of David vs Goliath, substituting Bolas instead of a sling.

seems like another good place to showcase this Jack Cole splash from Smash #36:

I've never read a "Midnite" story. I know he's a rip off of Spirit, so I guess Gabby the Talking Monkey is Ebony. Funny that the monkey version of Ebony seems less racially charged than Ebony himself.

Here's a good one from Cap 61
