Speaking of lost art, I found these and other recreations of golden age art were being made by a local artist. I listed them for sale as a favor on the Market Place thread. Maybe BZ could have ordered the art that he wanted locally (a Spudo splash page perhaps?). I wonder why we never hear much from comic fans in France, Belgium or Mars? I know they like comics, especially Belgians. bb

And an Acerno romance cover recreation which is where this thread started. bb

Acerno also does Baker cover recreations. This one is listed for sale in the forum. bb

These are recreations by Acerno (an artist that worked at Marvel). The twice up recreations (original art size) are for sale. Sorry they don't come with the attached comics. bb He also has done full size Flash Gordon pages by Raymond and True Crime pages by Cole.

Or perhaps BZ is going where no man has gone before to find lost original art by the comic book masters. bb Good Luck!

Maybe BZ is tied up due to other business. bb

Me too. Great work Thanks! I don't need much encouragement. Here are the last two. Sorry they aren't Ducks. Maybe we can create another animated Rosa cover.

I was wondering the same thing His last post was September 10th? Maybe he was affected by Hurricane Ike. It was a pretty big storm. I thought BZ was from Massachusetts ? I thought you would get that it was a joke ? Maybe he is out on the campaign trail. It is an election year. Porky for President might have been a good idea in 2004. bb Or maybe he is on the road.

Since no one guessed, I will post the cover anyway. I don't have any other animated covers. Does anyone else? bb The Shadow may have used this cover to cloud men's minds. Or maybe I saw it in a Hitchcock movie (Vertigo?).

The first story is credited to Williamson and Krenkel, as is noted in Overstreet. However, the GCDB also gives a credit to Frazetta. It is thought by some that Al did the pencils, Frank, the inking, and Roy,the backgrounds. I have the same issue as Keith and think the GCDB might be right as the inking is definitely in a feathery Frazetta style. I like to credit the book as having a Williamson/Frazetta/Krenkel story. I just went back and checked this book on the GCBDB...they seem to have changed their stance on this book and are now crediting only Williamson and Krenkel...they make a note of a correction that took place last year. I still want Fritz to have some part of it though. It is also my favorite cover of any ACG book. Here is my copy to complement Keith's Sorry about the miss on the Venus 18 Jimbo......Everett was something special back then. The early issues of Adventures into the Unknown had some really nice Frankenstein stories. I enjoyed those and some of the monster covers. It was a pretty good quality comic that lasted a long time. bb I was trying for juggling heads but it looks more like dribbling heads (soccer style).

Are those both Cardy covers? The second one is signed but I didn't see anything on the first cover. bb Both are really good covers no matter who did them.

I think if I had two more car illustrations and ten more scans, this would work pretty good as a gif. bb I still like the car ever though it doesn't move.

Animated covers were added to encourage kids to buy cause they were getting something extra like 3D, models and puzzles. It was a brief fad. I don't know if any other companies used this particular trick. I have one more Dell cover that is animated I think. Does anyone know which one? bb

I suspect that the Four Color 295 cover animates like the above with a few extra touches. bb

I don't think there are any more animated duck covers but there is another Mickey, Porky and Bugs. Unfortunately I don't have them but in case you see one of these, keep me in mind. bb

This one makes me dizzy. I added an extra touch which I think is what the artist had in mind. And Mickey Flasher should be about right. Unfortunately I don't have a scan of the original cover without the animation added. It is in one of the "for sale" boxes I think. I have 10 boxes containing 1000 comics to sell. It should keep me busy. bb

Phantom Lady 15, Wow 9 or Air Fighters V1#8 all look good. I like Mystery Men 13 too but it looks a little stiff compared to these. I am always impressed by the quality or the art from Fawcett. It should be ranked up there with DC but I think most people tend to ignore it. America's Greatest has a large selection of stories to review. Nedor had some good issues but many of the interiors did not match the great Schomburg covers. I only mention this because I see this thread a lot but it hasn't changed in a long time. Is there somethin that I am missing? BB

Scrooge, Why don't you list another book? We seem to have hit a wall on this Rangers. How about some superhero stuff. Even Fiction House had a few super guys (and maybe some gals). bb

I forgot to mention that I cut up my brothers copy of the Magic Hourglass back in the fifties. I had to know what it looked like. He was a little upset cause little brother was always messing with his stuff. I replaced it many years later but by then he didn't care. I also like BLB flip books. bb

Perhaps you aren't into head juggling and prefer a shark attack. OK, that didn't work very well but I will keep my eye out for more animation opportunities. bb

And one more for Halloween! bb

And this one is more appropriate for BZs thread. bb

I posted this on another thread but I thought it should be here too. Just in case you don't have a copy that you can cut up. bb

I got this one made on line. Just in case you don't have an issue to cut up. bb
