Anyone know where this art is? Its attributed to Norem, but I am not so sure.

Hi it officially arrived so I can post it. Bernie Wrightson cover Prelim for either a HOS or HOM that went unpublished. I thought I remembered this cover from somewhere but have yet to find it. Perhaps an interior story title splash?

You need to start buying more art. Nice piece!!

It was used for the Buck Rogers Galactic playset made in 1979.

New painting for my art collection. Another painting by Earl Norem. I really Norem's works. He has to be one of my favorite artists. The only issue I have with it is the signature. I wish it wasn't there.

I wanted to post this here as well. I picked these up today. (owned the art already) Museum glass, archival framing done by Shadow Images who is a board member here who happens to be an artist and professional framer. He is a great guy and very talented. These pictures don't do them justice. I can't wait to get more framed. I know there are other collectors here in the Valley, if you want something framed you should contact Lyle. He truly cares about the art and and does a fantastic job.

1978-1983, 1984. We started going to a lcs in the states back in 1983 , but I see I have some MJ inserts into 1984.

What's the point of slabbing a comic book if you cannot read it? I think collectors like to have everything so this is just one more thing for them to want. The only point in slabbing to me, is to have a professional grading warranty for transactions. The fact that it paved the way for a thorough form of collecting still does not make much sense if we consider what we are collecting (i.e. not coins or money). Keep in mind that CGC exists only in the collecting world of comic books, and there is nothing like this outside America. What a gorgeous Iron Man #55 – now I see what you mean with the star shaped stamp – I think I have already seen it, so you say sometimes it was applied on the back cover? I'll have to dig, but I believe I have several copies with the back cover stamped. It might have something to do with the stamp being easier to see on some colors than other, so they picked the spot on the book that make the stamp stand out. I've had several copies that bore star stamps on the BC, sometimes even multiple stars - I don't think there was any necessary pattern. Also, I never heard before (now) that it had anything to do with "payment". The clerk stamped them at the counter when we bought them at the Stars and Stripes on base. So yes in many cases it was so it was known they were paid for. They did this with books and magazines as well. Grew up on military bases. Cool, thanks. You mean they weren't stamped before you bought them? Did they stamp other things too? Seems like an odd practice, but hey. Why would there be multiple star stamps? Any idea? They stamped the comics when you purchased them. I have paperback books with the same stamp, but they did these across the top of the pages with the book closed. I don't know why they would put multiple stamps on the comics. An eager cashier maybe? Brian, do you still have many of the comics we got back then? I know I still have the Star Wars, Arak, Swamp Thing, Micronauts, Thor, and Avengers with the MJ inserts. I also have a Whitman Shroud of Mystery with the MJ insert. You should have Star Wars, Fantastic Four, Captain America, and ? I sold My Captain America collection to buy Art. I still Have 90 percent of everything else from that time period. Firestorm, some Marvel two in Ones, The Thing, Teen Titans, and odds and ends.

Just came in today. Temporary tour of duty in my collection.

I am going to try and put up a little sale tomorrow. I have been spending a bit much on the OA front and looking to raise some more funds. Will be SA Bronze Marvel Westerns and some others. Higher grade FF 13 8.0 will be in the thread as well others if there is interest. aka actual purchases.

Thanks guys. It is done by Earl Norem and the model is his wife. I really love Norem's art and his work is affordable to a lot of collectors.

Very nice pickup!! Love to see what other pieces you have.

New Today.

Oh yeah this came with it.

I just got this rough, but cool 1961 Man's Life magazine in the mail today.

I just picked this up this week.

Not to worry, the rules say the war chest can be set to pause for a nice tough black cover Atlas book! Unfortunately, Its wasn't the only book I bought.

I was weak this week. I am suppose to be building a war chest for other things.

Curious to see if anyone knows where these two covers are?

Its on CAF. I don't think the owner will sell it based on his story behind the piece.

Sale may not have happened. Same book and same seller. link
