OK, so this is my new favorite book, and I just bought one yesterday from the bay. Question BB, is your scanner auto cropping, or did you crop the cover after scanning it? And, where did you find such a nice copy?

As you can probably guess, my favorite Golden Age title is Boy Comics. And no title combined hard boiled crime stories with sports quite so well - or so often - as Boy Comics. Actually, I'm not sure it occurred to anyone else to try it.

 

Some of these images are pretty bad, which I apologize for; some of the comics themselves look really bad, which is just the nature of my collection:

 

Boxing!

 

 

 

 

 

Golf!

 

 

 

Basketball!

 

 

 

 

Hockey!

 

 

 

 

Auto racing!

 

 

 

Jousting?!

 

 

 

Football!

 

 

 

Baseball!

 

 

 

Cross Country, even!

 

 

 

Fencing!!
