My pleasure, kranky! :)

The scans were really terrific, BB. Some really good stories as well, especially the one with the Black Owl and the poor soul who gets scalped over his platinum strike. Modern comics might have gone completely over the top in their depictions of violence (the Ultimate Marvel universe is particularly ridiculous), but people sometimes forget that young readers in the Golden Age often saw quite a bit of grue in these superhero comic pages. The death is kept off-screen here, but I can still remember the adventure with The Hood (in Cat-man Comics) where a villain gouges the eyes out of army cadets, or the Hangman in Pep Comics where people would get decapitated. We won't even talk about William Gaines in the 50's and the formation of the Comics Code.
Anyway, I'm such a sucker for these old issues of Prize Comics with characters like Yank and Doodle, Power Nelson, and Airmale -- so I'm looking forward to seeing more down the road as they're scanned in. :)

I was delighted to see Prize 21 because I have wanted to read the Chief Skullface story since I first read about it in the early eighties. I was not disappointed. I'm as big a BrieferFrankenstine fan as Yoo, but he monster wasn't the only feature I liked in Prize. The book was a great choice to scan.
builderboy:
thanks for the kind words, fellas. Two more issues of Prize to go, both with Briefer, I believe.

Looking forward to them. JVJ has a bunch of Prize issues on his list, so I'm just very grateful that you're making a couple of them available for all of us to read, BB.
