Nice books! I like Purple Claw 2 also!

Nice! Love that #2 cover! I want to get a better copy of #1 eventually because that rip in the top-left corner annoys me, but with GA comics, in many cases, and from what I've read and heard, you just grab what you can when they show up, since there aren't many out there, and it may be a while before you see it again.  Then worry about upgrading later if you want to.

Great... now I have to add 2 more to my want list ... I don't think I've ever seen either one of these before, but then I'm a noob.

Well, that’s sorta the thing with PCH.  Even after you’ve been collecting for a while, there’s still probably one you haven’t seen.  There’s a ton of goodies out there.

From an auction a couple of weeks ago.  I got the Purple Claw #1 just for giggles because it always made me laugh looking at it - did he just hit her or the evil-looking guy?  I guess the "CLANG!" gives it away somewhat.  The Wonderland Comics #7 I got because I've always liked that cover.  Maybe because it reminds me of those old Big Boy Restaurants with the kid holding the burger :

Item #53982023 Front Cover: Wonderland Comics #7 VG+ 4.5

Love this cover!  It appears to be by Howie Post who drew the covers & Jimminy stories for the last few issues of More Fun comics.

You can see his signature more easily on other covers.  It's the only title that I recall is headlined by Howie Post.

I see a tiny "Post" breaking through at the bottom. I wouldn't have recognized it on the first issue, but the style is clear on #7.

Yup!  Loved that cover the first time I ever saw it.  And after researching, I believe he did the covers for that entire series (9 issues) except for the last one.  He did the artwork for "Alex in Wonderland" inside every issue, including #9, however.  So he's in all of them as far as I can tell.  Someone feel free to correct.
