SDCC pick-up and it's Holy Grail time as I NEVER thought I'd be able to own an acceptable copy of this book. The third ever published DC comic, the first science-fiction cover in comics, and while this copy certainly has its share of problems it is unrestored and has off-white pages. I couldn't be happier!

Hi Jay, it was from Terry's Comics - part of an immense comic collection that they've been bringing out over time.

Finally found myself a nice file copy for this one that dares to ask the age old question...

Harsh dialogue to start this one off for sure!

By today's standards she's not even that fat. Just pleasingly plump.

That was my immediate reaction too...still as one of those comics that couldn't be published today without parental protests and threats of boycotts over the insensitivity etc... I had to get myself one.  In a way one could argue a story like this is more taboo now in American culture...than graphic slasher horror zombie junk or even overtly sexual stuff.

Fantastic pick up Steve!!  I have always loved this multi-panel sci-fi cover.  I hope one day I can get down to LA again and paw through your copy.  Hopes of owning a copy are, as you alluded to, are scarce!
