Another reprint issue with a new GK cover. It's a new niche!

Three winners, there. Cool books.

Such a cool cover too.

Nice, Dan! You've been on fire lately.

I've been looking for reprint books with new covers. Marvel split up ASM #103 into two parts so they needed a new cover. They used the cover from ASM #103 for Marvel Tales #82, but without the picture frame.

I was going to splurge for the Grader's Notes, but there aren't any.

Some new arrivals, courtesy of Joey:

Great books, Frank!

Great books, Peter. I think you're a bit of a Suscha fan. For good reason.

It must be fate with this book this week. I found this copy at a LCS in South Carolina while visiting family. Weird. And it looks like they all have the same little blue/green ink splotch in the lower left corner.

I just found out yesterday that Frank Miller and Klaus Janson did the splash page for Marvel Super-Heroes #95. Some new art in a reprint book. Cool stuff. You can learn something everyday, I guess. Couldn't find a larger scan, unfortunately:

Been after a nice copy of this for ages, hopefully picking one up soon, it is a great cover. Starlin draws a great Hulk. Ebay purchase? Looks nice, what grade would you put it at? These all came from a local dealer. The MSH is probably a VF/NM. It has an impact dent on the back cover.

I've been enjoying reprint books that had all new covers drawn for them. Especially when they were drawn by guys like Starlin or Kane.

Do you agree with this list much? Putting #2 at the top and #6 at third made me immediately raise an eyebrow. However, I do recognize that I've got the benefit of the Internet and its population-estimating tools such as the CGC Census, online auction sites, and GPA available to me that Gary Carter certainly didn't have back in 1995. I think #6 and #8 are about the only misses near the top of their list. I think #2 is a relatively tough book and the census backs that up. Also, the list was put together before a lot of the Silver Age pedigrees surfaced. No Northlands, no Pacific Coasts, no Curators, etc. But even so, I think they mostly got it right.

Congratulations, Mark!

Yup.
