rbantique,

A thousand thanks for the many hours you've spent scanning and loading these treasures! I've certainly been made aware of much I never knew existed! I never knew the extent and you've certainly been gracious to us. Thanks again.

 

You are welcome. These hot rod comics were never big sellers. Most of the popular comics were superhero,romance,crime,western,war, or funny animal titles. These cost 10 cents ea and had little of no value for many years. The quality of art varied from issue to issue and some of it was really good. The story lines are aimed toward the young adolescent and you have to put yourself in that mind set to read them. I like the art !! &
On with the show..
