Larryw7 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Here's one of my favorite Golden Age books and one that is hard to locate in the middle to upper grades. I know the Church copy sold for major $$$$$ a year or so ago but I'm satisfied with this copy. I bought it at a local show from Harley Yee back in the 1990s. Kudos to Harley as he sold it to me for a fair price at the time. And the OW/W PQ was a plus as well. One of my all time favorite covers! Congrats!

HRCostigan Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks all -- btw I figured out the perspective issue, just had to read the story first! It's not a window -- it's a (television) screen. http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=18999&page=9 Sorry I doubted you Mr. Fine!

Great book. If you're serious with the perspective question, I think it's a poorly executed attempt at a single vanishing point in the middle of the picture. The line of sight if the gun is the obvious reference point. The lines on the floor tiles converge at a different point though. Incidentally, comic book covers often use visual cues to bring the eye towards the centre, like strong lines or figures diagonally pointing - lots of Fiction House examples. Once this was explained to me I started seeing it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Quite surprised to find these stellar copies of some 1940 golden age at a local comic store today. Small defects on otherwise newsstand fresh copies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
