This may well be a prized piece of original art from Archival’s collection. We see an expanded panel of Flattop’s first appearance in Dick Tracy (12/21/43). Laffy dies as his war hero brother heads back to the battlefront via a train at (Chicago’s) Union Station. Flattop arrives on the same platform. He wishes to go to the Nobel Hotel. A clever use of comic art collected by the collector, as it is from the very strip we now read nearly 80 years later. A creative homage to Gould. A righteous Flattop appearance, as any comics collector worth his salt would have some prime Gould in hand. Well played.
