Scanned by Rangerhouse, from a book in his collection,
edits by Dave H.

Due to the book having been incorrectly compiled with the cover from
Speed Comics #14 at the printing plant, the fc and bc are from HA,
with the ifc and ibc from Bob K and Yoc's version on site.

Comment:	Thanks Dave. This is a possible reason for the cover mix up. I looked and they both have a Sept 1941 cover date. Another possible reason for the wrong cover might be someone much later misidentifying a coverless copy and attaching Speed 14 to it. -Yoc

Comment:	That's a possibility Yoc, that someone added the cover later, but looking at the scans it seems the outer wrap has been on for some time, so who knows, if it was an error at the printers then it might explain why Speed Comics #14 seems to be more difficult to come by. I don't suppose the 100 page size helps it any either.
