The art + inking on Black Condor is phenomenal. Also how the heck would a child manage to cut out the Jane Arden paper doll pieces on page 30? Seems cruel.

Rintintin, you probably know this by now but the Black Condor art is by the great Lou Fine. You should check out the Ray collection (His best work IMO) on this site.
