Museum quality and absolutely stunning!  Was this piece acquired from the Berk auction?

Berk auction?

Indeed it was. Sold as a house ad from centaur.

The man in the Iron Mask in the background always draws my attention on this one 

I never noticed the Iron Mask guy! My new favorite feature of that cover!!

@Electricmastro Great post for Womens History Month!

And great that you mention that, as Centaur Comics might be the company responsible for what could be considered the first comic book superheroine in the traditional sense, the Magician from Mars, first seen in Amazing-Man Comics #7 (November, 1939):

Most of my Centaurs came from the collection of Claire S. Moe, an early woman artist in comics!

Keen Detective funnies #20 (Centaur 1940) only 17 in census. Thanks to a Super boardie that told me that this is a pedigree copy from Lloyd Jacquet collection!

Perhaps my rarest Centaur? If not, it is amongst my rarest. Three copies on the census, 4.0, 4.5, 6.0. Heritage has auctioned one copy in its history (the 4.5), CC has auctioned one (the 6.0).
