It shares the same editorial address as this ish of Complete Detective (340 W. 42nd NY, NY). My pal McCoy happens to have scanned an issue from 1941 that I'm sure he wont mind me sharing, thanks McCoy! Format is the oversized 32 page pin-up like Spot and others that were popular right then.<br /><br />cover image here:<br />http://i.imgur.com/694SwgU.jpg <br /><br />Snap v01n05 (1941-04)<br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/e50wzg<br /><br />I don't notice any Kirby artwork but it's possible it's a Simon design. My cover scans files show me I've got v01n01 from 1940 in my boxes somewhere, so I will take a look next time I'm rooting around and see if I can find any artwork from Timely-Atlas guys in it and throw it on my slowly moving scan pile.<br /><br />Later this year I know Doc V. has a book coming out on the subject which I'm eager to check out:<br /><br />http://timely-atlas-comics.blogspot.com/2011/11/surprise-announcement.htmldarwinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601838758695937728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042506089535638301.post-44790881563061748312013-04-13T13:26:24.598-07:002013-04-13T13:26:24.598-07:00What I love about this issue and several others in...What I love about this issue and several others in the "Detective Cases" line (i.e. Amazing and National) is the Jack Kirby artwork such as the spectral figure dragging the sleigh. Goodman also published a line of humor magazines called SNAP which, although not credited (nor is anyone else), seems to have a connection perhaps editorially with Joe Simon. Have you seen any of those from the same time period? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829776847770870130noreply@blogger.com
