	@the420bandito Actually, Smokey was born in '44, during the GA. Danny Blaze is indeed an interesting character who meets CCA fire codes, but kinda misses the mark as a GA Torch bearer. Nevertheless, I'll give Danny positive feedback for helping to extinguish the raging fire against comics in the pre-code era. Speaking of torch bearers, here's another classic Schomburg HT war cover with loads of detail... .

	I have recently purchased a small lot of GA comics. A lot of the comics are high grade. The OO has written his name on the front cover. Looks like Raymond L. Sheets. Just wish to see if this name ring a bell to anyone.

Well, the CCA stamp and all new stories tag pretty much removes the book from the GA, but it's a sweet early SA book nonetheless.
