love the colors on this copy!  my uc was washed-out looking in comparison.

But I was told that the sky in the Pacific is actually a very light blue.

You know, looking at Master 38 closely, I don't think Mac got the proportions quite right.  He shows the gap where Cap, Jr. starts tearing up the flight deck as being small enough to fit his arm spread, but the rest of the strip of torn up flight deck is shown as wider on the carrier than it is up in the air.

I love Mac, but you may have started with his worst cover! 

Cover is okay and the interior is among his best ever.

I think this one's Mac, although there are doubters (including, apparently, CGC).

Probably Bud Thompson who took over for Raboy.  Bud's a good artist and he worked hard to imitate his style.  I've been fooled a time or two.

Pose was probably based on one of Mac's covers:  https://www.comics.org/issue/2045/cover/4/

Not owned by me.  The art was reproduced 1 to 1 rather than being twice up.  Raboy often, but not always, worked close to print ready size.

At least twice.

That's got to be the nicest 6.5 in the history of time.

It's part of an OO collection that Earl Shaw brought to market a couple of years ago.

Nice.  Here's my copy.  Census says two 8.5s are at the top.  Edgar's copy is (or was) only a 7.0.

The little girl seems to be having a great time, while BMan looks like he's saying, "Could you loosen your grip on my neck just a little, honey?"
