Joe Maneely appreciation thread

Ok - so this isn't the nicest copy but when I bought it I was happy to find an affordable copy as while I think Maneely is great, I am more an Everett fan and this has a nice 6 page Everett story in it.  That said when it arrived I noticed the aftermarket art on the female figure - this is one of the oddest things I've got on a book in my collection!

Interesting find. Got this book in today. While going through it, I noticed this story. Signed at bottom last page Maneely. 

Made me wonder what is his first published work. It was listed as August 1948 for Street & Smith. 

Well, this is a month earlier in July. His first comic book work? When I get the chance I will check my run of 1948 Shadow comics and see if I can find anything earlier than July.

His first was probably for Street and Smith in 1948, like Red Dragon. I haven’t seen any of his work for that and for Marvel, but the few stories he did for Avon amused me quite a bit:

Love those Atlas “melting covers”. That is probably my favorite. 

I too, have a couple of similar “altered” Fox GGA books. Seems some horny kid penciled in the “private parts” all through them in pencil...:roflmao:
