Thanks for the URL, Rick. I liked the old cover better (at least the one I saw), with TSE extending some fear in a handful of dust and Ezra Pound standing menacingly behind him. A couple three years ago when we discussed it on the list I looked for a copy on the services like abebooks.com and so forth and lost out, I'm sure, to a speedier list member for the only copy listed. Now there are quite a few, but expensive (for a comic book), $30 to $85. Ken Armstrong
