For many years I actually owned the original cover painting of this issue.
Back in the 1970's a fellow art collector delivered the painting to me in a
nowstorm and I only had to pay $100.00 for it. I kept it hanging in the
bedroom for about 20 years and finally sold it to Robert Lesser who had
a thing for hunchback cretins whipping girls. Now I understand he has given
it to the New Britain Museum along with the rest of his pulp cover paintings.
