Love the orange on the 46.  Agree that the composition if odd but still has an interesting composition to it.

Nice blacks on 48 with the pesky off center cover.

I am also of the opinion that the cover for 46 is not good.  I thought at one point someone had shared a picture of an earlier draft where the roles were reversed, suggesting that maybe the shoulders look strange because they were originally drawn for a man.  I don’t know if that’s true but it seems plausible. 

The interior has some nice art though.

I also heard talk of the man and woman being reversed for the cover and my opinion completely switched once this was brought to my attention. In the book pictured below, it has a section on the art of Joe Doolin. It has several “drafts/sketches”  on a some covers he did for fiction house.

In the picture of his draft, the man and woman are clearly in the same positions as the cover. The woman in the draft was clearly drawn with much more “womanly” form. In my opinion he just missed on his final submitted for print. If the cover was more like the draft, I think 46 would be coveted much more than the one that went to print.

I'm not as bothered by the cover as much as I am by the miswrap.

and since I seem to be behind, here is 47.  Can't say as the monster instills much fear.

#48, one of the few issues I managed to upgrade.  I stuck with the 9.0 and 9.6 since the 9.0 had better colors.

[Flex Mentallo]

I have your old 9.0 Jeff.

My 47 and my 48 owned once by Cheetah as per his post I was on mycomicshop site a few months ago and saw they were auctioning it off

my 48:

I love my 48,  it is so unique!

It is very high grade and the interior cover is flawless. I have sent it in for grading and will soon know the result. I also own a CGC 5.0.

I'm surprised how few of my old copies have shown up.  It's too bad more people don't share their scans of books.  I always enjoyed seeing what other people had almost as much as what I had.

#48 is my second favorite cover of the series.  The screaming face in the corner became such a trope during the atomic age.
