Was just going to post that. Maybe he can carefully erase it?

I'm overwhelmed by a multitude with the same problem.  Pity me, boys.

Here's one of the less common Real Life Picture Magazine variants.

That one looks like pen. You are SOL. Just find a nicer one.

Indeed! A great underrated title. Probably the cheapest way to get Schomburg war covers. Hey, they are are also a pretty good read as well. My favorite of this "genre"

Bob - What's the back story on your copy? I'm curious.

I found these two in a comic shop in 1995...I wish I had picked up more.  All but #3 were pretty cheap then...but I don't think #10 is a Schomburg...

I think the art on #10 is by Maurice Gutworth.

Even with the writing on the cover, I had to pay multiples of Guide

Very fond of those Real Life covers.

For a real challenge you can try hunting down both versions!

I took this image from this thread 

 

I do have three or four examples but my oranizamation skills are lacking.I think I remember another discussion but for the life of me can't find it.

I think this is a seriously underrated book.  Schomburg, first A-Bomb cover, indicia error dates to January 1945 (not 1946) before the first A-Bomb (so its a nifty error), and it is rarely found in high grade (2 highest CGC census are 8.0).

I agree. One of the earliest A-Bomb covers I’ve seen. Picked up a couple more copies on the cheap, just because...
