Funny Pages 39 from 1940 cover by Gustavson blue copies 9 total 12 on the census This copy came from the Dentist many moons ago and graded by me in the tough zone for Centaurs

If you are on good terms and keep in contact with the big boys in the hobby place back then, you can certainly benefit from that long held idiom that "one person's trash is another person's treasure".  (thumbsu  :takeit:

Noted with the cover artist Paul Gustavson he did many for Centaur and had great lines as an artist. Some of the best covers came from him as this one and Amazing man 22 i think he did alright :luhv:

'Fire-Man', lots of Pyro heroes back then. Wonder how he would have stacked up against the Human Torch and The Flame if he had more time?
