   By Superman
June 1937 (from GCD) George Brenner's Bob Steele Raiders from Space shows a definite Alex Raymond Flash Gordon influence. Paul Lauretta's Rocky Baird Gold of Destiny shows a definite Roy Crane Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy influence. I like The Photographer's Delemma but the proportions aren't right for a full page - what was on the back of that page? Also is the centerfold missing or what? All in all I like the issue a lot. I always like having the opportunity of getting another scan of a 1930s Comics Magazine Company comic book! Thanks to the scanner!
