Ad for various Joe Doolin good girl art covers, with the possible exception of Jumbo Comics #91, which I’m unsure if it’s by Doolin.

When I look in a FH book, I like to see these ads and notice which books were available on the newsstand at the exact same time. On a separate note, sometimes these ads can give a different look to what a cover “could have been”. As an example above, the Wings book has the woman in purple. The actual book you could buy at the time has her in a pink dress.
