Description
| This is a 300 dpi scan of a book in my collection; coverless, so the FC, BC, and IBC are courtesy of Heritage, and the IFC is from Blue Beetle #1, and the indicia has been composited. Scans and edits by me. At suggestion from Yoc, I have bumped up the quality from my usual submissions. |
