Cap definitely looks like Shores in the ad, but I was looking at this Cap 4 panel and the pose seems similar to the Bucky pose in the 1944 ad. Could the Bucky paper drive panels been prepared just before S&K left Timely? I'm not acquainted with the timeline of this ad or when it first appeared. I've seen the early Cap ads but I don't remember the paper drive panels.

I liked this cover so much, I wound up getting two copies

The Shield from the waist down isn't quite right

I bought a lot of books from Bob back in the 70's. Then about 15 years ago, I got this Spirit 1 from him for a decent price. He was quite a character for sure but I always had positive interactions with him. RIP Bob

Picked this up today. 1944 and with Simon and Kirby on the CGC label(?!). I found an interior and it has to be the Cap ad. The Bucky panels look like S&K work. Here are some splashes.

I did this collage years ago. More wishful thinking than anything else, but I do have a few of these

cool. I only have these 2

This one is from 1926. The card is hand-colored and the water damage has run some of the colors right off the card. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time. So, each card was colored slightly differently. Like many cards, this one was linen-backed to protect the card which in movie poster world is acceptable restoration. The cloth kept the card pliable.

I picked up this souvenir program book from the 1940's of one of Blackstone's shows. E.C. Stoner did the cover. I was surprised to read that Stoner was one of the first if not the first black comic book artist, well before Matt Baker. Some books said Stoner created the Speed Saunders character for Detective 1 but in later interviews he said his first work was in 1939 for Chesler. He worked at Timely for several years and inked the first Flexo story in Mystic 1 and probably drew all the Blackstone stories in the Timely series.

I got this lobby card recently

Had this copy raw for many years. Got it recently graded. Never noticed a missing coupon

Here's a fun Crippen

new pickup

my only Terry

Here's Miss Fury when she was Black Fury in the newspapers and a pinup

The one on the right displays more outer space at the top edge. Most copies I've seen are like the one on the left.

Got this one today. I added a zerox over the missing piece which made me feel better

Picked this one up recently

Sort of a group shot. I don't have an All Star 3 but I have the books in front of the characters. Since The Atom never got a solo cover, another has taken his spot

His 8 Conan paperback covers have gotten lots of mileage over the years

this chronology used to be in the old Overstreet guides

Actually, those early Life were published on high quality glossy paper and still supple. Typical political farce and news of the day with a sarcastic spin. Here's some pages from issues I have
