  1. Amazing Man 11... this issue contains the last cover and interior art by Bill Everett on this title
  2. You can tell that Amazing Man is so amazing by the way he manhandles those big fluffy balls. when trent was young, he thought they were meatballs
  3. This is actually Sam Glanzman's first published work, cover dated March 1940, and Sam is happily still with us. Does anyone know of another living creator whose work goes back that far? Sam may be the winner in that regard. bob lubbers is still with us and 2 years older I believe
  4. Amazing man 10 One of the better issues imo. Chocked full of goodness Everett cover and story Joe Simon Carl Burgos Filchock Glanzman Frank Thomas.
  5. Tough book that I'm having trouble finding the right copy on. I would like to upgrade this one too
  6. and for anyone interested, here is the rest of the aman 7 first Everett story...
  7. Book 8 Amazing man 7 Another great bill Everett cover and interior
  8. Actually, they do. I (along with several other lurkers) don't know a thing about the publisher or titles. Although I'm not interested in collecting them, I do have a great fascination as to what they are about. More intel, please. I second this. Some backstory on these books would be great. I'd love to know more about each one. I'd guess Tabcom and I aren't alone. Moar! Here's a little generic background Amazing-Man (John Aman) is a fictional, American comic book superhero. Historians credit his creation variously to writer-artist Bill Everett or to Everett together with Centaur art director Lloyd Jacquet. Amazing-Man first appeared in Amazing-Man Comics #5 (Sept. 1939) The character influenced the creation and origin of Charlton Comics' 1960s superhero Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, as well as Marvel Comics' Iron Fist character in the 1970s. John Aman is an orphan from the West, chosen for his "superb physical structure" to be raised by benevolent monks in Tibet for the first 25 years of his life. Each member of The Council of Seven, as the monks are known, trained him to a superhuman degree of physical and mental ability, while also giving him the ability via a chemical solution to disappear into a cloud of green mist, earning him the secondary title of the Green Mist. After receiving his final tests, he is sent into the world to use his skills and abilities to do good. Opposing Aman, as he was often known, is his nemesis the Great Question, a disgruntled member of the Council of Seven.
  9. Book 7 Another classic that likely needs no introduction. Amazing man 6
  10. +1 Yes indeed, looks like they have got some of those very early Star Comics and Star Ranger Comics. Some of them would be the Highest Graded Copies, and this time without the Brittle Pages which was prevalent on the copies that CL had in their last big auction. Looks like a second chance for gator since he missed out on the books from CL last time. maybe. have to see if any are upgrades for me. I have two early stars with slightly brittle pq but rest are good
  11. surprisingly we get offered 90s books about 90% of the time. Really a 9/10th chance of getting it right
  12. Since I have 7 straight hours of basketball in front of me and to get this thread back on track, I present book 6 Amazing man 5 Should need no introduction.
  13. he has yet to impress with recruiting. You say that like he has been impressive with something else we did win the sec east both his years. But there was no implication of being overly impressed with anything (yet, I hope)
  14. PreHero has pointed out in the past that most GA pedigrees of that era had Centaurs, including Church (CO), Larson (NE), Cosmic Aeroplane (UT), and Reilly (CA), so the myth of poor distribution doesn't stand up. agreed. Lost valleys , etc.
  15. id say early caps already sell for equal or more these days.
  16. he has yet to impress with recruiting.
  17. mike kott of intergalactic should have some. David Alexander also , I believe
