Post your Golden Age comics that have a mirror on the cover!  

Mirror covers!   To my knowledge, the genesis of the multitude of same themed “suspenseful” mirror covers was the cover to the August 1933 issue of Phantom Detective pulp.  Examples:

Detective Comics #15 - a clear swipe

More Fun #65 (my fave of the theme)

Master Comics #48

Prize #38

 All-American #42

I haven’t noted all such examples, and maybe we can post all those that are clearly the progeny of the 8/33 PD pulp cover.
I wanted to start a thread on just that a while ago but never got to it …

Thanks for the heads up on the Phantom Detective pulp! Feel free to post any examples you have, even if they've already been posted!
