What a great copy of a rare book! Looks like some Hollywood starlet dangling over the precipice. I turned the book upside down and had a careful study.  Joan Crawford? Vivian Leigh? Katherine Hepburn? (kinda out of my element with those 30's starlets)

And just how old do you think the rest of us are? 

I think I read in the Comic Book Enquirer that the average age of the Gold boardies is 85. You see, Action Comics #1 was released when they were 6 years old, the most vulnerable time in one's life to become a lifelong Gold addict.

Yes. I remember seeing it on the stands, but I had a terrible nicotine habit in those days, so I bought a cigar instead.

Here's a new pickup that will tickle the sweet spot of at least one or two Fox lovers here. I was struck by the cool colors and bizarre layout of this cover when I saw Jon Berk's lovely copy last month, and was quite amazed to score a copy of my own just weeks later. Final issue of the title, and from that very tough late 1941/early 1942 period (think Weird #20, Fantastic #22) when print runs were at their lowest. The interior stories are crazy... very high body counts in most until the good guy finally ekes out a win.

that is one mean welder.

Very true. If you're putting together an Angry Welder theme collection, this right here is pretty much your grail.

A beautifully bizarre cover! Great perspectives. 

Seriously, that's gotta be one of the slower ways to "86" someone. The Flame probably decided just to hang out in a diner for a few hours, sipping on ice cream sodas and chatting with the soda jerk, timing his arrival for maximal drama and front cover headlines!

My biggest book pickup in the last year.  This and Mystery Men 10 were the two Fox books I was not sure I was going to be able to pick up.
