But Flessel undermined the suspense by drawing seagulls in the sky. That can only mean that land is nearby. However, the kids have no shoes so they are still in a perilous predicament It's a lot harder to swim with shoes. Especially a pair of these...

It's a lot harder to swim with shoes. True but they might step on some sharp seashells or pebbles or coral and get infected. I must buy this book to find out what happens next I've read this story. The three boys have an incredible adventure with much danger and last minute escapes. But then they wake up and find out it was just a dream. First DC comic with an Imaginary story by Mort Weisinger.

Missed a few months on this thread. But here's one that went on sale in late November 1937, that I now own.

This morning - I had breakfast with a friend who bought this comics back in September 1937 and I totally forgot about this thread. He paid $720 for it. It is his great-grandfather favorite comic and wanted it so badly. He wanted some piece of family history and he remembered this comic when he was 7 years old.

2 books for me this month. That's 67% (2 out of 3) of all DC Comics published this month. Sadly, I don't own Detective Comics #11... yet.

I have to disagree. There is plenty of danger in this situation. Three young boys on a tiny homebuilt raft are adrift in the ocean. The boy who appears to be the captain is looking into an empty bottle. The boy responsible for steering the raft has only one eye. It would only take about a three foot wave to swamp them. This cover scares the heck out of me. And what's the deal with that sharp knife stuck in the raft? That's an accident waiting to happen, imo. But Flessel undermined the suspense by drawing seagulls in the sky. That can only mean that land is nearby. However, the kids have no shoes so they are still in a perilous predicament Ah, I see you read the review in the Funnies Diary, that excellent collection of of criticism and essays about the world of modern picto-fiction, from Kimball Thompson and Gareth Groth. Quite trenchant assessment of the rather juvenile output of the disgraced Wheeler-Nicholson's establishment. I do enjoy their interviews with the likes of Roy Crane and Alex Raymond; but, their publishing of Tijuana Bibles to fund their own line of fine publications is a bit disturbing. I read the latest Blondie edition three times and it is most salacious. I do think their attacks on Vincent Sullivan are a tad much, though.

Cost me $150: And you’re waiting to get every issue before you read it. I should add that I’d love to be able to read every issue of World’s Finest. I just read the story (from #153) where the famous “Batman slaps Robin” image comes from. Head trip! It’s an Imaginary Story where young Bruce Wayne thinks Superboy killed his father and he becomes Batman to bring Superman to justice.
