1st printing. By Earl Baldwin, Peter DePaolo, and Frank Frazetta. The action never ceases as Johnny Comet and his friends cross America at break-neck speeds, with trouble always close behind. Johnny is a race car driver who spends as much time fighting criminals and keeping up with beautiful women as he does on the racer track! Frank Frazetta is the legendary illustrator who almost single-handedly changed the face of fantasy art with his paintings of CONAN THE BARBARIAN and the creations of Edgar Rice Burroughs. In 1952, at the height of his popularity, Frazetta collaborated with Indianapolis 500 champion Peter DePaolo to create the superbly illustrated series JOHNNY COMET! Softcover (Horizontal Format), 11-in. x 8-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.
