| Thank you, JonTheScanner! Just having the two Siegel & Shuster strips makes it an automatic "10" in my opinion! |
|
| This is an excellent and worthwhile scan. The color in those strips using it is magnificent and the importance of this book with Siegel & Shuster's two strips can not be stressed enough. My thanks to the scanner. |
|
| An excellent scan! All 6 issues of this historical series are finally available for all to read. Thanks! |
|
| Only two and a half more years till we get to meet the Super Police in person! ;D |
