Love this cover! So pulp! So blatant! The garish colours and the basic layout make it absolutely irresistible to the person standing at the newsstand. Some people yearn for the good old days of the Old West but give me the excitement of the pulp era. Heroes and villains at your fingertips, in a much more simple and black & white era. No television but the "theatre of the mind" that was radio and the wide acceptance of the "funny papers". Baseball was America's game when sports were still considered games. I'm sure it wasn't all fun and games but it seems that it is our right to believe that the past was better than the present and the future would turn out different than it truly has. Anyhow, I've gotten off track. If you would like to read a review of this early tale, submitted with the title of "The Crime Syndicate" then this is where you click.
