Description

As you will see in the additional images, this splash was unfortunately cropped, perhaps to reuse the logo or the fine portrait of Angel O'Day seen in the page as printed. Still, it was all worth it for the charming shot of Angel in panel 2. I commissioned Bruce McCorkindale to put his restoration skills to the test in recreating the cropped portion. The results are impressive!

Oksner gals are the cutest to ever grace a comic book page. From #4, P17

Criminal to do this to a Wood/Oksner A&TA page! That first panel is a real loss.
