Zelda by Carter Brown Signet S2033  1st Printing   December 1961    $30  SOLD to crassus

I always call her strip "exuberant" on this one, an absolute favorite McGinnis cover.   Tough to find the 1st printing, it's one of his first Carter Brown's. I sold a 3rd print last year.

Very Fine Minus. Bright, glossy, square and solid. Small date written inside. Great page quality. No creasing, light edge and surface wear.
