(and a good number of Whams!), but unfortunately they're in bound volumes and can't be opened wide enough to scan. (They're the Odhams file copies.) However, I also have some loose copies that I can show, 'though there might be the odd gap or two.

Still, great idea.

If you have any Valiants from the years 1963/1964, you may wish to check them out to refresh your memory because quite surprisingly the majority if not all of the Smash! covers in the Warriors of the World Series were in fact redrawn versions of Valiant covers from that period. Putting both versions side by side would make the gallery even more interesting.Irmantashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291067561616131559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-12859639310679825732014-02-27T04:29:24.293+00:002014-02-27T04:29:24.293+00:00A pleasure, GB.
