Dave, thanks for taking on this huge labor of love! Although I had them all downloaded before, I was unaware several were missing pages or otherwise incomplete. I hadn't actually had a chance to read or go through them all, and this is both a surprise and a great gift to us all! Copious thanks, and Cheers, bowers

Phil Mendoza does a terrific job on the art. One thing puzzles me. In the books Fu is "tall, thin, satanic," etc. In the magazine illustrations that's also how he was portrayed. Ditto the "yellowface" actors who portrayed him in movies. Here he looks more like a comfortable Chinatown merchant! I wonder why the editor preferred this less forbidding characterization.
