| Another excellent scan of a fun old comic. Love the story about the harpies! |
|
| "The Gold Monster of Hell's Canyon" PEREZ: 'This is Deoro..a monster I created".. " De oro " translates from Spanish to " Of Gold" nice touch! |
|
| Given the date (1952), I note that "Deoro" resembles "Dero" , Richard Shaver's evil subterranean robots. |
