Considered one of the best splashes ever drawn by Lou Fine, this page has been published numerous times in books and fanzines.

It was published twice in CFA-APA #29 (Jan. 15 1993), once in an article and a second time in the magazine as a small fold-out poster.

Thank goodness for those beautiful Golden Age color reproductions in the old Overstreet price guides. That's how I became a Lou Fine fan. This is nothing short of exquisite. Wow!
