| Thank you, yoc, for this beautiful scan of this early, important Centaur. |
|
| Odd that it's called "Funny Picture Stories" when the contents are all "Mystery Thriller Ace Adventure Western" strips. |
|
| It was a pleasure to get to edit this very old Centaur for everyone. But most of the thanks should go to Titansfan who has been amazing scanning so many books for us editors to work on. |
|
| Great to see an excellent scan of this historic and fairly ancient book. Thanks!! |
|
| Gorgeous scan, great addition to the collection! Titansfan and Yoc A++++ |
