Christmas Comic Cover "Prize Comics"

For the past few days, we've been showing Christmas-themed Golden Age comic covers.
Our final cover is Prize Comics #57 (1946) with Santa Claus over a montage of the previous year's covers for the title, a motif I've never seen before or since!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Starting tomorrow, thru New Year's we'll be presenting Fantastic Femmes, featuring our favorite current genre actresses.

Comic Christmas Cover "Supersnipe"

For the next few days, we'll be showing Christmas-themed Golden Age comic covers.
Today it's Supersnipe Comics Vol 4 #10 (Feb-Mar 1949).
"Supersnipe" was the daydream alter-ego of 10-year old Koppy McFad, "the Boy with the Most Comic Books in America"!
He (and I quote) "read 'em, breathed 'em and slept 'em"
Yes, he was the original fanboy!
