Getting close to the #1 cover that I own. But 1st #2.

Well, here we are with my second favorite comic cover that I own. If this is your first visit to my list of favorite covers of my collection you may want to look at my other journals to catch up. When I saw this cover on eBay I knew it was something I needed to take a closer look at. There before me was a copy of "Mystery in Space" #116 from Feb. of 1981 in CGC 9.4 with white pages. The cover was by Jim Starlin and with art by Ditko and Craig I knew it would be worth looking at. I had never heard of the writers of the stories, DeMatteis and Barr, but at least I knew the art would be great. The red cover locks your eyes to it and then the green aliens beg to be looked at. As with all great covers you then are drawn into the center where there sits a skeleton of the U.S.of A. spaceman. I love that word, spaceman, takes me back to the days before I was born. After you look at the cover and see the title of the story, BURNT OFFERINGS, you get an idea in your head what the story is about, but you most likely would be wrong as MIS comics are known to have a few twists in their stories. After winning the lot from eBay seller MAGENTALIN, along with a copy of Rip Hunter #21, I went to the local comic shops and found a reading copy. When the comic arrived I got out the reading copy and read the book from cover to cover while I worshiped my new slab. The stories turned out to be as good as the art and I was one happy collector. This all happened in 2005 and I still get this comic out and read it while I fondle the CGC slab. Next up, my favorite cover that I own. Best2u
