The SUPERMAN logo is a thing of beauty-- that's why it's lasted so long-- but not when it was plastered on JO. So, out it went. Also, the JO logo itself may have been fine, in 1951. With so much emphasis on "KIRBY IS HERE!", and it being "THE NEW" Jimmy, it sure seems this would have been the time to re-design the logo... NOT, right after Jack left the book. Also, for Jack's entire run, Jimmy was seen sans bow tie. But he still had it in the corner pic, where he & Superman just STAND there, Supes' arm on Jimmy's shoulder. To me, that pic screams, "Look! This is a really BORING comic! Please buy us ANYWAY!" Well... not anymore! Finally, "GUN HIM DOWN!" made sense on the rejected version, where Yango was actually holding a gun. Here, "RUN HIM DOWN!" seems more appropriate.

Another oddball item... I wanted to clean up some of the text, and get the Comics Code stamp off the lighthouse light. I couldn't see what it was at first!
