wow is right!

i've run across fewer centaurs over the years than any of the other major golden age publishers.

here's my funny pages v3 #8, arrow by gustavson, tarpe mills art:

great book, alanna!

i'm leaving for st. pete for a steven wilson (of porcupine tree) concert.

(if you are a rock music fan and do not know about porcupine tree, for shame!)

i'll be back some time tomorrow and will post another centaur

All of your books look so nice.

thanks. very nice of you to say.

lmao@pee stained 6.0!

and what's with the fiend in the wall?

perfect height eye slot, and perfect height arm slot lead me to believe he's a regular at the torture tank room.

next up is the second of jack cole's two funny pages covers, vol. 3 #4. world's fair cover, paul gustavson arrow story.

A) they feel it's worth it to take out the red skull and his torture tank room to wipe out the young allies

B) they have horrible aim leading to much collateral damage due to friendly fire?

torture tank control board #11.

so either there are (at least) 10 other control boards for that one torture tank, or there are (at least) 10 other torture tanks.

boggles the mind...

jon, those larson funny pages are awesome!

I certainly have not owned nearly as many Centaur's as most of you here, but I am sure happy to see this one coming back my way once again!

 

great book. i have this issue somewhere (but not a pedigree or in 9.2!) :

love the pop of the inks.

next up is funny pages vol 3 number 1. mcwilliams art, gustavson art, schwab cover, and of course the bob kane bruce wayne prototype story "the case of the missing heir," makes this issue a favorite of mine.

 

:thumbsup:

i love your enthusiasm brian!

thanks. i see that there have only been three graded by CGC, with a 7.0 being the highest. only one (complete) copy has ever been offered by heritage, and it was that cgc 7.0 copy.

i have no idea what condition the pedigree copies are, but i'm very happy to have a copy in well better than 7.0. it seems like it hardly pops up in any grade.

mine either. never had an AMF v2#2!

 

 

Actually, my copy is very nice.....

 

Decided to re-scan those covers..

jb - new scans = much better.

awesome books!

as tempted as I am to join the trend and jump to the great amazing mystery funnies series, I will resist and continue with my copy of funny pages vol. 2 #11. the second appearance of the arrow, plenty of gustavson art, and even some bill everett illustrations on the text story:

mine either. never had an AMF v2#2!

BTW Its just great to see your books, raw, out of the bag, yummy sweet

 

+1. Will you be cracking out that AMF you just won?

 

thanks everyone. and bunky, post whatever AMF silver surfer is referring to (if you haven't already)!

 

Well, I think they may be refering to a this new acquisition, but with great pause, and no intent to derail your current posting, you are after all the "new super star on the Centaur block". I for one am so very happy to see a long time seasoned collector with high grade stunning books, that save for the CGC boards we would never have the chance to see, Circumstances, I hand the Centaur thread back to you, please take center stage again, BB

 

fantastic! i love that issue.

:thumbsup:

nice. mine and yours are the two best copies i've seen!

wow. i'm deliberately only posting a book every day or two to avoid being accused of carpet-bombing the forum!

Even one newly revealed Centaur per week would qualify as carpet-bombing! Bomb away, man! (thumbs u

well alright then, if you insist! without further ado, we continue with my copy of the first centaur issue of funny pages, Vol. 2 #6 from March, 1938. Nice Bob Wood girl art cover, and another one that i've seen less than a half dozen times.
