Great painted covers by several artists at Marvel.

Just one or two pulps. Whose work is it? the Great Norman Saunders I believe.

immediately went to buy a copy of this as soon as I saw the cover I think the guy did a few painted covers in his tme

one of Ditko's stranger covers, still great though!!

Curious, would you consider a character's true first appearance in a book or pulp as their first appearance? Or does it have to be drawn along with the story - not just cover art. Conan and the Shadow come to mind as possibilities... A pulp or book is a different animal than a comic book story, so no. And when you get right down to it, comic magazines are just larger format comic books. Look at Marvel Preview, or Epic Illustrated, for example. They are comic books only bigger. Not to mention that comic book publishers referred to their comics are "Comic Magazines" for decades. When you take that into account, the distinction between comic "book" and comic "magazine" seems even less important. Less important to me anyway. I know some will not agree with that. for some reason Marvel started putting this at the top of the front cover of their flagship title back in November of 1961...

for you GA western fans
