| This is an extremely difficult issue to find on any budget. Hard to believe this creative endeavor is now 3/4 of a century old. For collectors finding a copy of this Prize Comic is a dream rather than a reality. And if found it is doubtful the owner would let it be touched let alone sell it! Yet here it is entirely presented in full color. A truly beautiful and mastercrafted issue in all of its splendor preserved digitally for untold enthusiasts to peruse and enjoy.
Incredible find and well appreciated by this reader. Magnificent!!! |

| Despite the comment above, this issue is not complete. It jumps from page 30 to 35, with the loss of at least 3 pages of the Green Lama. I suspect the story would make more sense with them restored. |
