Sqeggs Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Would this one qualify? I've always thought that's a bit of an artist's error. He just seems to have neglected to draw the her bra straps on her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Couldn't resist picking up this obscure pair in last night's CLink auction. Those are very tough giants. I got mine really cheap because of lack of content. I just wanted to finish the run of Giant Comics Editions. Hardly ever see them. Nice to have Crippens on those.

Yeah, CGC couldn't come up with dates, but I think they were both published in 1940. I'm not sure what was up with United Features. They seem to have published a few random books from time to time. Probably the most desirable is the Peanuts 1 from 1953. These two aren't (I don't think, but I could be wrong) connected with the later St John series with a similar name.

He just seems to have neglected to draw the her bra straps on her back. Probably correct. If it was a modern drawing you could argue it was a wing bra I guess. Not sure what they had in that era other than women wore to much clothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seems to have neglected to draw the her bra straps on her back. I suspect it wasn't an error. It was done for Fox who was pushing the limits and it was done for a cover where both the artist and editor/publisher were going to be more careful that it met their intentions. If it was just an interior panel, then I would think it likely it was an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overstreet has the Mighty Mouse Giant as the first issue in the St John series. I've seen copies of that one, although I don't think I've ever owned one. He has an Abbie and Slats Giant as the second issue. I don't know if I've ever seen one. He lists these two as a separate series with UFS as the publisher. I'm not sure where I got the 1940 date from. Must have seen a reference to it somewhere. UFS as a publisher is interesting. Presumably the characters in these books were from UFS strips. Perhaps they stipulated that these books be published under their name and not the actual publisher's name. The Peanuts 1953 UFS one-shot has always intrigued me. Seems like a Dell book to me, but again maybe UFS required that no other publisher be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that the woman has already removed her bra and the reflection in the mirror simply hasn't caught up to her actions yet.

She's fully topless, but has a bra-shaped tattoo on her front torso. When she saves enough money she'll finish it on her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down to that one, #14 and 3 Blue Beetles to finish off my late Fox collection. I got what I really want the most so it comes down to finding a presentable copy that people like me and fifties can afford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
