The Python


Interesting cover with the use of the geometric piping behind our hero. The antagonist looks like he could have come from a Doc Savage cover. As this comes from the early years it seems to be a great story, according to the review found here. I look forward to reading this one day.
On a different note, I wonder how much more thrilling these tales would have been if we had been reading them back in the days they were published. The anticipation of a new adventure, very little competition for our attention in the form of television, internet, etc... We'll never know.

  1. Aaaggghhh! I didn't get a chance! I was indisposed, out of town! You [or at least, the villain on the cover] truly gave me the finger on this one...Love the cover, though!
