Never having seen any Doc pulp covers at the time, I didn't get the back image, being only familiar with the Bama Doc.<br /><br />It, too, had an impact on me. For a while I re-arranged my collection of Bantam Docs into Farmer's ordering, till I realized that was silly, and put them back into pulp publication order. (I gave up on that when they went into the doubles and omnibuses).Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577632385379561930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11576493.post-72628176885262044942010-01-17T12:07:50.129-07:002010-01-17T12:07:50.129-07:00That's perfect!That's perfect!-> Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560887728240829164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11576493.post-8282499495530686452010-01-16T20:33:01.279-07:002010-01-16T20:33:01.279-07:00Evan: A note from Phil!

Even today if i re-read it, I can pretty much know what the next paragraph will be as I read. Doc's appearance in Rocketeer was a big deal for me as well. In fact I don't think any artist has come as close to nailing Monk and Ham as Stevens did. So yes, what a treasure, Win. I'm glad it's found a home with you.Charles R.
