The interior is a book length story, all by Bob Powell, about an alien injured in a crash landing on Earth. Vic and his girlfriend try to save the alien and also protect Earth from the evil guys pursuing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read it, it struck me right away that it seemed like it could have been the inspiration for Hal Jordan's origin. MrBedrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted an affordable Church; not sure I really have one but am efforting the confirmatory (or disproving) work. Just be nice to be certain either way. I will report back one day, but this may or may not be something that takes a bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe one that the person who bought it from Chuck read multiple times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Not all Church copies are jaw dropping stunners. Consider the earliest ones and latest ones Edgar bought second hand. This Whiz is a case in point. I got this from Redbeard years ago. Hard to see but it does has some very light pencil scribble in the upper most right cloud. It also has the cursive "D" on the cover. Came with his own COA. If Ron owned it and said it was a Church, nuff said. He was one of the earlier purchasers of the collection and bought lots of the lessor priced books in bulk deals. I will say, if you really want to go to Church, you really need to save up and get one of the real nice ones. I just can't describe in words the look, feel, smell and freshness of a nice copy.

This is an outstanding run of Baker goodness. Doesn't get a lot of love since these are all Baker art cover to cover. The Fighting Marines's Canteen Kate is awsome too.
