Silver

This book has proved too elusive for me to get in higher grades... Notice the similiarity to the Adventure 276 I posted?

I don't care for the colors on that book. Get rid of it. Ken Okay, you want it?

Nothing like a good cat fight!

Posted this one once before, but moved it when I went to photobucket, so here is this beauty again. For those that like the bizarre nature of some of the DC covers....this blood transfusion should rank right up there.

I really like the colors on this cover. One of the better covers for this period in World's Finest as so many have weird alien covers.

Ahhh...it's working

I am a big time ERB fan. I own pedigree complete sets of DC's Tarzan, Korak, Tarzan Family and Weird Worlds. I never bought the Dell stuff because I was "raised" on Kuberts stuff, but I do love those Dell covers I saw the Central Valley Tarzan #1 (NN I think)

Okay, Tarzan has nipples on the cover, but bronze age Marvels like Conan and silver DC's had no nipples.....

Tim, Love those covers too, any chance for larger scans?

Okay...I feel better now

uh oh...starting to hear those crickets again...

It's nice to sell books, but not books this nice... Great to see in grade, hope it went into a deserved collection. Andy I got the book slabbed hoping for a 9.0 but got a 8.5. I put it up on Ebay for $200 and it didn't sell, but a guy in Canada offered me $175 for it. I took that offer....so the book now resides in the great white north. He seemed very happy to acquire it.

Way too many words without a cover scan:

The strange variety of background colors can add to the charm and mystery of these DC books, but often do add a bit of "Lucy In The Sky" surrealism. I agree that the Adventure #284 would have looked nicer with blue sky and a few clouds and that it would have not taken much extra effort. In fact, I shall re-color mine! Concerning scans, I always do two. I scan for myself at 200dpi and keep these on a separate hard drive. for the boards I scan at 96dpi. The colors of both are fairly consistent, but the higher dpi scans are much purer when compared with the 96dpi, the latter ones often looking less high grade than they really are. I agree your colors look good on your scans, but I would like to see some of your 200 dpi scans, as I think that is why I thought they looked "grainy". Mine are done at 200 and I don't think they are any bigger than yours in size. Your scans are a bit bigger than mine. I am working on a project to scan every silver/bronze book I have now, starting with the 10 centers....I hope you guys aren't tired of these books yet as I have alot more to scan Instead of using a hard drive to store my scans I upload them to Photobucket. It will be some time before I run out of 5 GB of storage for comic covers..

Steecity, your scans are a little bigger than mine (793 pixels across vesus my 700) but to me they seem a little grainier; are you scanning at 200 dpi? My yellows definately are more subdued, but the reds and blues seem as bright. I have noticed when we post the same book with a yellow cover, yours is "brighter", but other books seem about the same. The question we both should have is why DC had yellow outdoor backgrounds...was this during a solar flare-up? It wouldn't have hut Curt Swan to actually draw in a few clouds and color the background blue.

A war book I used to own, sold it on eBay about two years ago, but I kept this nice scan...

I think it may be the difference in scanners. I have noticed that every one of the monitors I use show the scans differently as well.

Don't mess around in Smallville...they will send you to the state tomato farm!
