| Thanks for uploading all these. I think the covers work. Though I usually prefer drawn ones. Ely's a good artist- he could have done some. The others might have found it a bit tricky.. |
|
| Two stories in this issue use the same plot device: a young woman sees her boyfriend embracing another woman and breaks their engagement without giving him a chance to explain. The boyfriend has a logical explanation of course, and eventually everything is worked out. |
|
| All the Art on these is excellent,. This example of Bill Ely's work is great. |
