PUNCH COMICS #13 Facsimile Edition

Harry A. Chesler produced some of the wildest, offbeat titles of the 1940s.  Rocketman and Rocketgirl, aided by the world's tightest costumes, fight crime this time by future DC artist Reuben Moreira. Gus Ricca draws another classic cover plus the violent free-for-all, The Gay Desperado, inside. Plus Crime on the Run, Johnny on the Spot by Al Plastino, soon to become a prolific artist at DC on Superman, and more strips. Includes every original page, ads and all. Look closely at the gravestone on the cover. You'll find the names of G. Tuska, Gus Ricca, Eppers (a derivation on artist Martin Epps' name, I'd venture) and Fran Smith. The girl getting thrown in by the giant skeleton hand is clearly victim #5, "?". Package in a self-sealing bag with an authentication “Replica Editions” seal.
