  1. I had to look that one up. I see what you mean...
  2. Me am hating your terrible Bizarro book.
  3. That would probably depend on whether the FC has the staple placement visible. I think that's the main way that married covers get spotted, due to the variability of the location.
  4. Green underwater gals to green underwater dude
  5. I think the guy at the left of the onlookers is sweating. If not it's a fair bet that they guy in the chair is!
  6. I fear I have created an international market for these, and with our $ slipping against the greenback, I hereby apologise to Australian collectors. Meanwhile, back on the subject of Virgil Reilly, artist and writer on Silver Flash. Given the scratchy nature of most of his comic work, I was surprised to find this example of "GGA" recently: It's true that there are occasional examples of good draftmanship in his comics, but it seems that he put a fair bit more time into his advertising commissions. His "Virgil girls" were a big thing in the 1930s. A few splash panels of that quality would be a fine thing! I think I'll try to find a few more for an entry in the GA in Australia thread.
  7. My first thought was Cole too. And I wish I could get into the mindset that the books I own are better than the ones I don't, but I'm not there yet...
  8. Great stuff '48. The voodoo cover is great - I don't recall seeing that before.
  9. Cleaning the staples and putting them back is an option if they haven't rusted too far. I've done a few myself (though never to a high $ book) and I think it's the most straightforward DIY conservation technique. PM me if interested.
  10. Wow, that's a beautiful looking copy Frank. Mine is solid but not that good. But while were starting a club...

    I think there's trouble all round on that cover. The P-80 isn't going to pull out from there... (one of my pet gripes about a lot of air combat covers - a crash is inevitable as drawn).
  12. Leaping off a zebra to being pulled onto a zebra
  13. Cover with Scrooge to cover without Scrooge
