I think @lizards2 is far more likely to call Dwayne a pervert for taking the comic in which Supergirl reveals herself to the world...

I really wanted that one bad...,

Wow - I must be the crank of the boards.  And Sha must have the memory of a sharp, sharp elephant.

Since we're on my crankiness, I thought I'd throw in a new Public Service Announcement on Collection Cleanliness, or my anti-cootie tirade.  My newest beef is the comic bags and boards that come in on my purchases..., certainly not the ones from you, Sha, though, as you gets it.  

What is up with the toasted comic bags, covered with glue, stickers, sticker residue, tape, tape residue, snot, boogers, bile, Krispy Kreme donut slop, Dorito powder, bacon, eggs, dog hair, pubic hair AND stuff I'm afraid to identify in mixed company?  Are these battle scars from convention traveling, OR...., what???  And the backing boards - some have off-gassing from sitting in a garage for 20 years, and most are corner dunned, creased, yellowed to high heaven?  

No one want to receive additions to their prized collection in this junk.  And finally, wash your hands once in a while!  Have some pride people!!!   

No, I just think you are funny...

I take off all old yellow bags by the corners and wash my hands;)  I'm never quite sure about that slime. I even replace bags that I've replaced since I bought the books, lol;)

Detective Comics #77 CGC C-1 5.0 S B. From the Evelyn Collection.

This is a great cover, one of the few Detectives I kept because I liked the cover.  Robin in a bottle...instead of some ordinary "hot babe" type in a bottle;) 

 

I had this book slabbed, the pages seemed fine and I looked. I don't see a notation in the notes about slightly brittle, so I can only think it's the lower left corner or so "slight" I didn't notice.

Bin $275

The Saint #5, Avon 1949. CGC 4.5 OW. Ann Brewster art. OK, even I think this is a sexy lady cover;)

 

Since I love learning about female GA artists, I thought I'd share some info.

Ann Brewster was a female artist working in American comic books during the 1940s and 1950s. Her real name was Shirley Sonya Zweifach and she was born in New York City in 1918. She was originally interested in a career as a fashion designer and enrolled at the Cooper Union Art School in 1937. Upon graduation in 1941, she began to look for work as a commercial artist under the pen name Ann Brewster. In 1942, she was hired to work in Jack Binder's studio, that produced comic book 

artwork for companies like Fawcett, Timely and Street & Smith. In 1944 she joined Jerry Iger's shop, that worked for Quality Comics, Holyoke and Gilberton.

Her earliest known credit is 'Samar' for Quality Comics in 1941. She then did art on Fawcett's 'Bulletman' and 'Mr. Scarlet', before becoming an inker on 'Blackstone' (Street & Smith), 'Rip Carson' (Fiction House), 'The Hawk' (Fiction House) and 'Frankenstrein' (Gilberton). Brewster was a longtime inker on Gilberton's 'Classics Illustrated' series (1945-1961).

Her pencil work appeared on features like 'Yankee Girl' (Chesler), 'The Saint' (Avon), 'Igor the Archer' (EC), 'Madelon' (EC) and Feature Comics's 'Jr. Rangers' and 'Yank and Doodle'. For Better Publications, she did a section called 'Hobby Corner'. She was addionally present in Lev Gleason's 'Crime Does Not Pay', EC's 'Crime Patrol' and Eastern Color Printing's 'Heroic Comics'.

In the 1950s Brewster was mainly present in the Timely/Atlas romance titles, such as 'Lovers', 'Love Romances', 'Stories of Romance', 'True Secrets' and 'True Tales of Love', but also in 'All True Crime Cases', 'Crime Must Lose', 'Space Worlds' and 'Journey into Mystery'. She also did romance stories for Fawcett, DC Comics and Feature Comics. For Gilberton, she contributed to 'The World Around Us'.

In the 1960s and 1970s she was mainly active as an illustrator. She illustrated books for Wonder Books ('Bible Stories to Read Aloud' by Oscar Weigle), Hammond Map ('Animal Atlas of the World' by E.L. Jordan) and Atheneum Books ('Silver Wolf' by Paige Dixon), and stories in Humpty-Dumpty's Magazine for Little Children. She retired from illustration in 1980.

Sensation Comics #33, CGC 4.0 CR/OW Wonder Woman 1944, spanking cover.

While Marston (who was a tad kinky) had a lot of bondage in his stories, I think there is only one other book with a spanking splash (Sensation 31) at least that I can recall. 

Took me a long time to find an upgrade. Bin $475  sold to BriD.@10% off
