It is cool! I used to own the MH copy of Strange Adventures #3. Love those books!

Maybe 1st sci-fi gorilla, not sure. I know fiction house used a lot of animals on their titles, Jumbo, Jungle, Kaanga, Wambi, etc... Fox also like using Gorillas, such as Wonder Comics #2 from 1939.

Next time, use a pool table!

1st gorilla cover in comics? More like the 200th. Action Comics #6 has this beat by 13 years or so

I just got 15 Jordan cards graded. All came back 9’s and 9.5’s!

That MAY have been the intent, but since Lois does not have brown hair nor is she wearing a green dress in that story, it cannot be validated!

Did you get a price on the ASM King Size #3?

I’d sure like to know more about the ASM King-Size cover and the JIM Annual cover! Who owns them and what’s the price tag?

If it were not a real cover the label would read, “Cover is a color copy.” Seems pretty easy to tell the difference when reading the label, correct?

Sound like what many of you are really saying is that their work is so good that you can’t tell the difference between what is original and what is added on. You would think that would be a good thing! Interesting.

I’ve only done 1 commission and it was promised in 4-6 months. It took 3.5 years to finally get it! On the bright side, the art was supposed to be 11 X 17. Due to the wait it was done 18 X 24.

Probably worth $100,000 if there are 10,000 pieces worth 10 bucks a piece on average.

The Marie Severin Hulk piece is amazing!!!

What are you taking about? It absolutely references a story, the story in Action Comics #27. In the story, Lois Lane Is wearing the exact yellow dress you see on the cover! What more proof does anyone need?

This story was used in the back of Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975, so the art must still be around.

Good thing Sinnott was one of the best inkers ever. If Sinnott was a horrible inker, I’d say an overpowering Sinnott would be a bad thing.

I can do that for ya! Here’s the coding in the Marvel Mystery Comics #37.

link?

Original nostalgia from buying the book off the newsstand or LCS, true. But no one ever talks about secondary nostalgia! What is secondary nostalgia? That is seeing & connecting to an image or a comic book long after it had been produced. Back in the late 1980's I assembled a near complete Spider-Man collection of every appearance of Spider-Man in an American comic book. Now, 30+ years later, I have nostalgia for those early Ditko & Romita comics I saw & collected as a kid... even through I grew up on the McFarlane Spidey that was being produced at the time.

Age gap, price gap or nostalgia gap?

$58,544 Looks like the high bidder was willing to pay more too!

1 and done. Classic provocative good girl cover.

You’d be surprised by how many take an eraser to all the edges of a white back cover, only to come away with “moderate amount of light eraser marks to all back cover edges” as a graders note and a lower graded book.
