It's amazing that Guardineer had kept the pieces from his art portfolio after he gave up comics and that eventually he sold them to a collector.  Now it is yours!

Truly thrilling to see this cover preserved.  What an outstanding piece of our history.  Pre-hero DC comics was actually one of my focus areas of comic collecting before I gave up pursuing back issues with marriage taking over my time and financial resources way back in 1991 - it really is a joy to know this cover has survived and is here for us to enjoy.

A classic cover, so early in the history of US comics. It is incredible that it survived. Thanks for sharing it.

I have spent a LOT of time drooling over the pre-Batman Detective covers.  Those early artists sure knew how to design with bricks!!
