| End of the Torchy story and beginning of the next story are missing. |
|
| Odd: on page 6 of the Torchy story, she has blonde hair and a blue dress, but on page 7 she suddenly has blue hair and a yellow dress. Guess the colorist went a little crazy. |
|
| Interesting catch, Dwilt. It's not the result of switching printing plates since the other colors are right. I'm guessing whoever marked up the color accidentally wrote the wrong code on those two pages. |
|
| It's not just there, Doll Man is suddenly wearing a yellow suit with a green cape and boots on page 6 of the first story. This whole book is full of printing errors. Quality lived up to it's name in terms of artwork, but their printing sometimes left much to be desired. |
|
| Actually, srca, I was surprised to see how poor the printing was on this issue. I always thought Quality had better than average printing on their books. This issue ranks up there with Fox and Charlton. |
|
| I've had a couple of lesser print quality Quality books, but this is certainly the worst. It could be too that this copy has colored my perspective a little since it was one of the first Quality books I bought 20+ years ago. |
