Picture Parade 1 club... 1 1

And what does NM and Nevada (where they also tested the A-bomb) have in common?

 

Answer: There are NO Saguaro cactus in either of those states, yet they are on the cover of the book...maybe that's why schools didn't buy many of them. The publisher couldn't get his geography right...

A friend of mine owns the original printing plates to that cover. I have the plates for issue 2, so I guess I can't join the club...

[Tri-Color Brian]

No, but you could re-print issue 2...bada bing, bada BOOM!

you are SO right! My folks still live in NM and they get really upset when they see Saguaros associated with newMexico. Thanks goodness Breaking Bad didn't ever make that mistake.

The TV show America Declassified recently did an interesting piece on the filming of John Wayne's The Conqueror downwind of the testing, and whether fallout caused cancer in Wayne and other crew members...

What did they conclude? (I'm suspecting the conclusion was a definite "maybe" )

I just saw on Comiclink that this comic came with an outer cover. I obviously see this was discussed before, but how about a bump for more copies? Outer cover or not!

This is one of my favorites and I was lucky enough to find an affordable copy at last year's NYCC. I have a picture a picture of it here in my group shot of my haul:

Your copies are incredible! 

 

I know the other 3 issues are not as thrilling as the first, but does anyone know if they also exist with outer covers? Or was that abandoned after the first explanatory issue?
