Keif, a masterful Charles Biro masterpiece. Covers like this give us a glimpse of the genius and great talent of the legendary artists that worked on comics long before most of us started reading comics. Although he is widely remembered for his work on Gleason's Daredevil, and his cover work for my favorite "Crime Does Not Pay", his cover work on Boy comics was also exemplary. Congrats on owning such a great cover.

Thanks for the kind comments, Nick. Yeah, Charlie Biro was truly one of the early masters of the comic book medium. When Jerry Robinson was still alive and we would get together to talk on social occasions, he would always speak very fondly of Biro's artistic talent and of being just a good person overall. They were very close friends when Jerry worked at Lev Gleason Publications. Biro's 'hand" was always steady and consistent throughout his career and this "Boy Comics #102" cover art looks equally as impressive as his work from the Early 1940's. But the coolest thing about this specific cover art is that it is really "HUGE" being that the Image Size is: 13¾” X 20¾”!!!
