One of the coolest gifts that I received this holiday was a
double splash page, featuring the villains from this
oversized, collectors edition leaping into action! Action,
incredible sense of movement, anatomy... this one has it
all. Garcia-Lopez strikes again!

Cool Wonder Woman splash on the previous page.
That's an impactful use of negative space on the Batman figure in the Portela piece there, Ari. With the big shadow behind him it captures the brightness of the light shining up.

Lots of wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing. Got this. From Scott Shadburne. He was a cartoonist for a paper in Springfield, Missouri.

Here are a couple of fun pieces. Hey, and for the
price, I couldn't pass them up! Sad Sack would have
been the first comics I bought before I discovered
Marvel. Anyway the first from is Sad Sack 189 (May
1967) and the second 191 (July 1967). I know Fred
Rhoads drew a lot of Sad Sack but I'm unsure if anyone
else assisted during that time...

Good stuff all around. The Lobo by JB is the absolute best. Also a huge
fan of Sad Sack!

Forgot to mention that the earlier Sad Sack page is the larger size -
almost 13 x 19. And when checking out the time stamp on the back
of it, it was dated 11/15/66 - exactly one week before I was born.
The second page is really cool in that the blue lines are so visible.
There was no attempt to erase them at all.
About the same time I got these, on eBay was an early 1960s Sad
Sack cover by George Baker. I wanted it, but wasn't prepared to go
all out for it, and it went for a little more than I wanted to pay at the
time.

Can someone answer a question? Why were the corners on some
pages clipped?

Marc- it is my understanding that the corners were cut by the printers. The artwork was taped to a drum scanner, I guess it would scan the piece as the round drum rotated, when the scanning was done the page was cut off of the drum (easier than carefully removing the tape, I guess). You must remember that those pages were considered work byproduct and not art in those days, at least by the general public.

Thanks Steve. I figured it had to do with the printing process, but
couldn't figure why some were cut, and others not.
