Rockets Blast Comic Collector # 33 (RBCC), 1964, Blue Beetle cover by RLM? RLMS? Don't have this so not much info. Anyone with a copy who'd like to donate some info just drop me a line.

Rockets Blast Comic Collector # 34 (RBCC), 1964, It should be noted here that the actual issue #34 has #33 on the cover. Look closely at the ones I have labeled as #33 and #34. One has the Blue Beetle on the cover and is the ACTUAL #33. This one has Yank and Doodle on the cover and is the ACTUAL #34. Make sense? Yay!
Ok, now on with the show!

Love; LOC by George R.R. Martin; a pinup of Green Hornet by Biljo White.
