Bolt Of Cole!


Here is a typically lush L.B. Cole painting which served as the extremely vivid cover for Blue Bolt Adventures #105 from 1950. Star Publications had taken over the series from Novelty Press and issued another nine issues of the series which introduced this Simon and Kirby sci-fi hero.


The words are completely redundant on this cover. The "Help! Help!" is downright creaky. But it's a beautiful cover nonetheless.

  1. They put clothes on her. I like the version where she is just wearing pasties. :)

    1. They sure do. Actually the more I look at this, the more I think the art is a recreation of the original cover.
