Another orange edit from David Miles ... Look, while I appreciate the work that goes into acquiring, scanning, and editing a comic, Miles' edits surrender to the aging paper instead of trying to fix it. This no more represents how the book looks now than a "bleached" version would represent how it looked when it was first published. It just saddens me that, in 20 or 30 years, someone will have to go back and fix all these. Why not get them right in the first place?

Well Irek, interesting, if insulting, comment. But you could "fix" it for yourself. Then you'd have a "nice" copy to keep. Anyone can do that if they wish. I don't have a problem with the scan and I doubt I'm on my own. One of the great delights of old comics is the look, smell and feel of old paper. imo, that is vastly superior to that shiny stuff that was foisted on readers. Not quite sure why someone will have to go back decades later to "fix" them. Many thanks to Soothsayr and David for all their work.

The art on the first story reminds me of Munson Paddock. Especially the stylized, almost abstract backgrounds like those on our page 6.

NotesWriter credit was determined by textual analysis by Lou Mougin to be Patricia Highsmith. Now listed as unknown.

Joan Schenkar, writer of the Highsmith biography, "The Talented Miss Highsmith," worked with Highsmith's notebooks, now in possession of the Swiss Literary Archives, and in them, Highsmith did not start working on comics until after she graduated from Barnard College. She joined the Sangor-Pines shop in December, 1942, meaning that no credits before early 1943 can be attributed to Patricia Highsmith (as reported by Ken Quattro on 22 March 2016 in the Comics History Exchange on Facebook).
