Description
A beautiful series of character studies done by David Wright for the sixth Carol Day storyline, 'Seconds Out!'.

'Seconds Out!' ran from February 24, 1958 through May 1, 1958 and comprised strips #452 - 508. It is the shortest Carol Day story line, running only 57 episodes. It's also the only story line set in the world of sports as Carol dates an amateur boxer named Gene Miller.

As a side note, one of the boxers depicted here is supposedly based on the famed British boxer, Henry Cooper.

Nice looking boxing studies! Has me envisioning an alternate history where David Wright illustrated Joe Palooka ;)

This is really great. I love that he was doing the research for what was one of his shortest stories.
