Issue Information
- Cover Date
- March 1954
- Cover Notes
- Many years back I did an interview with Heath that was run in COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE
in which we reproduced the original art to the cover of SPELLBOUND #20 in black and
white. And I remember seeing the original art to this and noticed that the blond
woman's breasts had been altered (reduced in size). I asked Heath about it in my
interview and he said he sometimes got carried away and then Stan Lee would tell him
to tone it down a little. Before he changed it, the woman looked like Dolly Parton.
Even after the change, you can see she's still a very busty gal.
