Frazetta Covers Buck

Not getting along with language right now, so let's just do a quick look this morning.

We've poked around a bit in early years of Famous Funnies - let's jump to the end. Nine of the final ten issues of the first true American style comic book featured a strip that had run since #3 back in 1934 - Buck Rogers. Always nice to see, but what made these special is they were all done by Frank Frazetta -










To my knowledge, these were the only Buck Rogers drawings done by Frazetta, along with an unused 10th cover that was later reworked and used for the covers of EC Portfolio #2 back in the early '70s.
