Yes, you're referring to the panel of Fury getting friendly with a woman, which the CCA replaced with a close-up of his gun in a holster draped over a chair. Steranko felt the gun in the tight-fitting holster was a much more potent sexual metaphor than what he'd intended. Steranko talked about that in one of the comic book documentaries... I'm thinking "Comicbook Confidential"...(?) Edited March 13, 2018 by 29dukedog added desc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too expensive either. I only had a tracking bid in on it. I thought it might go higher. Perhaps it would have in one of their Signature Auctions.

sagii Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well after numerous attempts over my time here of unsuccessful WTB threads, I finally got a bite : Heart Throbs #46, one of Bakers best Quality covers (as unlike what is usually the case with some of the Quality covers, the baker girl maintains her instantly recognizable 'Baker Face'). On another note, it's almost a twist on the daydream cover of Teen-Age Romances #43. Except here the woman has manifested her fantasy into a sculpted dream suitor, much to the disappointment of the guy who you know really wants to be the object of her affections. Classic Romance stuff. Thank you Joanne , extremely happy to get your under copy 29dukedog, Sqeggs, comicjack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post szav Posted March 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2018 Got this one back today...small tear on the back cover kept it from at least sharing the top census spot with an 8.0. Still very happy with the grade on this one considering what I got it for. Point Five, MBFan, comicnoir and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
