buttock Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I finally was able to pick up a copy of this book. These Speeds are really elusive and the covers are great. I'd say this issue compares favorably to Amazing Man 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggernaut Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thank you to Rick for turning me on to these, to Billy for NOT buying them when they were offered to him... but mostly to my friend Richard for Selling them to me when they were still available I think there is even a Paratrooper cover hidden in the 2nd book...

Paratrooper Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 How can you afford to buy this item before setlling your AF #15 purchase There was an awesome deal I recently came into. This nice guy from Nigeria sent me a bazillion $ check for a pittance. All I had to do was cash it and send him a processing fee back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Is a rockt through the Earth sybolism for for something in the 40's? The cover story is an adaptation of the Burroughs novel At the Earth's Core, a Hollow Earth/Lost World story. The "rocket" is the vehicle that the protaganists use to travel through the Earth's crust - probably the first "Mole Machine" in fiction and a device that would often be imitated. The cover is just a stylistic representation. (thumbs u Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
