I believe my mom handed then on to my cousin when I wasn't looking.<br /><br />I could really go for the idea for diving into that stack now and then...I think I'd find great solace in them.Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-43175904874627281892010-05-24T16:24:59.556-07:002010-05-24T16:24:59.556-07:00I remember that too about the Harvey covers being ...I remember that too about the Harvey covers being so different from interiors. Even as a kid I had the thought that Baker did the covers and the interiors were by some lesser hand. I collected lots of Sad Sack right off the spinners just for the covers. The covers had a heavily inked sort of clunky look, which I really liked, and they were pretty clever. I have no idea when or how I got rid of that collection. This book's art is, of course, the real thing and very nice. Thanks for posting.<br /><br />As a kid I also liked Spooky and Casper, and again could tell when it was older reprint material or not. The older the better I thought.Thomas Haller Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278003392092477845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-19492971427286141892010-05-23T12:39:45.661-07:002010-05-23T12:39:45.661-07:00His Harvey covers were gorgeous.

I remember always being semi-disapointed by the inerior artwork when the covers by Baker had such panache!<br /><br />I'd love to revisit these, I look forward to it.<br /><br />I am a Harvey fan...Stumbo the Giant, Hot Stuff, Spooky, Casper, Richie Rich...all great stuff IMHO.Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-50041255808705398082010-05-22T21:54:28.371-07:002010-05-22T21:54:28.371-07:00Great stuff, Jeff.
