BOOT Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 On 10/31/2023 at 12:44 AM, IngelsFan said: Cool find, but I doubt Bill Gaines was even on Biro’s radar at this point in time. This was on the stands only 2 months after M C Gaines died and Bill took over. According to this article on the Association of Comics Magazine Publishers, both Lev Gleason (publisher of Crime Does Not Pay) and Bill Gaines were founding members of the ACMP. The article states that the ACMP was formed on May 1, 1947, so it's probable Gleason and Biro already knew Gaines when this was produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted November 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2023 In today. I've liked this cover ever since I first saw it, it's very atypical for Ingels but it's gorgeous with an amazing color palette.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted December 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2023 How did we let this thread fall to page 3? My local store got this in a couple weeks ago, there was a delay as he figured out a price. Even with the stain in the upper left corner, I figure $225 was a steal. More than I normally want to pay for an otherwise typical EC these days, but this one is much better grade than my average copy: Robot Man, Jayman, Raze and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you point it out… I think probably so. Still happy with the book, but definitely feels like it was closer to the correct price.
