Thanks guys. That cover seem so busy with all the snow falling. It's just fun to look at.

 

Here's another on I just picked up.

Sharp copy! I love how cops had such amazing accuracy back then.

 

Just scored 2 I've been looking for:

 

Not the best romance cover, but the floating lips are awesome. The shadow in the center is a tad odd.

And this is #1 in the run. I like the multiple images.

Who used it first? Baker or Cole?

I'm not sure when or where that Baker art was used, but the GCDB has the BBWT #115 at October 1952.

 

Also I just snagged this one. 'Tis almost the season, and I just missed out of 2 LB Cole covers on ebay so I made a deal for this one:

I'd wager that the cover came first and was then used on the interior later. Incidentally, the cover to that Holdiay Comics issue I posted was also used as the interior splash of another Star comic, I believe it was: FRISKY ANIMALS #52. The interior covers told parts of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and it used that Santa splash.

Does Santa realize someone's boosting his sled while his foot's caught in that tiny chimney? hm

I think I now have 3 of the Cole x-mas covers, but there's still 1 or 2 more for me to go. I'll track 'em all down eventually!

Thanks man! I thoguht I had more of this 5-issue LB Cole cover run, but I only had the #41 - which is also a really cool honey-bee cover. After making a few larger Cole-cover purchases I'm having fun filling in a few holes in the lesser popular titles.

This one came in a few days ago:

And, since I posted it over in the Gerber 7 thread rather than here, I might as well show it off again since it's related to the one above:

Both low grade, but neither are what I would call easy to find...
