This is one of my best comic days ever because something I have been wanting for two years actually happened today. I have wanted this Fight Comics 35 Lily Renee Senorita Rio 10 page story original art for a while and it finally came together thanks to a kind boardie friend. I love all the doodles she did around the perimeter and on the bottom on several pages.

That's really awesome! :luhv:

Must be some interesting back-story to how you landed these great pages....

Incredible stuff, I love the ink marks and sketches along the edges, would make a great artist edition. Thanks for sharing. :)

You see this cover a lot on eBay, with various mid-50's books as interiors, as the leftover covers were used up at some point in that timeframe. But this is the actual issue from 1945 with Green Turtle, Black Buccaneer, Jun-Gal and co. -- a Gerber 8 and probably the toughest component of this little run.

Catching up here; finally freed some device storage. The scrawl on the Man #1 is Alan Bellman's sig. I'm not usually an autograph guy but I made an exception for a tough book and a Timely bullpen original.

Love those Looney Tunes. Those early issues just don’t show up that often.

Thank you; they really don't! I traded some original edition, early number classics for them. The dealer/collector I traded with also has an 11 and 15, though the 11 is not quite as nice as the other three, but very close. I will be heading back with more firepower for the others.

These copies have some interesting notation inside from the original owner; I will create a separate thread with the insides to see whether anyone else has books from this person. My photos may not do them justice; they are remarkably well-preserved for a little girl's books from 1942.

Definitely would love to see the insides.  I have a #1 and have debated trying to pick up the 1st ten issues but they are tough

Just posted -- see "The Other Larson Collection" -- curious if others have her books, as they have her obvious initialing and signing and addressing in the same spots.

I've been in love with this cover since I first laid eyes on it.

Nice pick up Gene!

Thx JF! Me too; I've been on the watch for it, but they don't come up all that often. (Though Rick has a 7.0 in his current thread)

When this one popped as a new listing BIN on eBay I grabbed it fast.

I like many of the Doc Savage covers and I like Burns and Allen.  On the same cover, though?  Not so much. 

(Anybody else having trouble with PB's cropping function?  Assuming anyone is left who still uses PB!)
