Yes! This!  So exciting!

Oh, wait, except I think there's something wrong with this issue.  I think that the cover is number 1, but the contents are number 2.

[movielover]

you're right, it is an issue two in a #1 cover

[Yoc]

Wow, thanks for catching that BC!
I'm pulling it down and adding the correct covers.

Ok,
I've Upgraded the existing fiche/paper Startling #1 with rangerhouse's covers.
And I've uploaded a proper #2 with covers confirmed from the fiche renaming RH+Lofty's scans.

So an all paper scan of Startling #1 is still on the Wanted List gang.

It looks like one just showed up on eBay.  Bid ends Aug. 6th.  At this moment, it's up around $135.   I may keep my eye on it.

(Well, there's been a ~$400 copy on eBay for a while, but the seller sounds kinda... ranty.  He scares me a little.)

Lofty Pilot has just recently posted "Crime Smashers" #2 from Trojan, a title I was not familiar with before today. One of the features in the book is "Sally the Sleuth." Does anyone know if there is any connection between Trojan and Conde Nast's "Spicy Mysteries" which once featured a character of the same name in a continuing comics feature?

[JVJ (RIP)]

Most assuredly. Same publisher, Trojan; same editor, Adolphe Barreaux; same characters and same bunch of artists (primarily). Much of the Wally Wood material that appears in Western Crime Busters first appeared in the pulps. For a real in-depth discussion of this, see Illustration Magazine #35 - the article on Joseph Szokoli.

But I don't think that Conde Nast was the publisher of Spicy Mysteries (or at least not of the Pulp from which the Sally stories were reprinted).

 Thanks, Jim. I knew it could have been coincidence but I thought it would be worth asking about. I know I've read somewhere that Conde Nast published all of the "Spicy" pulps, but that was in a tome about the Pulps which had a high ratio of reprinted illustrations to a low ratio of text which I read around thirty years in the main library at the University of Wyoming. They had other book on comics history which were riddled with errors so I'm not shocked that the information was flawed. Not to find out the truth about both things.
