Description

Show some love for the Golden Age #37 and help me out -- Alarming Tales #2 (Harvey 1957) -- Harry and Keif Fromm both say Joe Simon and I suspect they are 100% correct -- Seller (Comicconnect) thought it was Meskin. I'm thinking Simon is right.

Joe Simon, with Joe copying the large figure from a work by Meskin. For a more detailed explanation please see my Simon and Kirby Blog post on the subject. http://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/simonandkirby/archives/1833

Oh, in my haste to answer your question about attribution, I negected to say nice pick up. Not that long ago you would not have got it so cheaply and I would have been bidding on it as well. Great piece of art and art history.
