February, 1943 - 600 dpi cover to cover rescan of a rare "Canadian white."
Due to the faint and fine lines (from the poor printing rather than complexity of the artwork), and because of its rarity, this book has been left at its full 600dpi size.
Featuring two Captain Marvel Jr. stories redrawn from Fawcett's Captain Marvel Jr. #1, plus The Crusaders, Pat the Air Cadet, and Pte. Penny!
