Some great books there

Just got this, me latest GA.

Cool Triple Cover.

Nice!!

Thanks guys

One thing I love about Raboy is the thought that went into his covers. Rarely did he take a conventional approach. I can't decide whether this cover works or not, but it's much more interesting to me than the more typical WW II covers showing a super hero bashing Nazi or Japanese soldiers

 

That he didn't settle for the conventional might be one of the reasons that he was known as a notoriously slow worker who often missed deadlines.

 

My only issue with later Raboy covers is that many of them look cut-and-paste. That cover is very cool but I bet you could find those five images separately on earlier Raboy books.

 

Cutting and pasting was definitely one of the shortcuts he used to try to stay on schedule. In this instance, though, the soldiers' poses seem pretty distinctive, so I think they may have been drawn for this cover. Unless they appear in interior art that I'm forgetting.

Except I'm seeing that the soldier on the far left and the one to the right of CMJ look like identical twins.

Me latest Double is a Triple

Great copies, my friends! Here's mine again.

 

 

I'm just knocked out by the colors on this copy. Only one I can recall seeing with reds like that.

Agreed. That is vibrant, must have been run off at a different print shop

Very cool! Love the interior, and the "Spidron!"

Thank you.

And those books in your sig line are very impressive

Of course the big bucks are in early superheroes, but put aside the money and give your opinion on what genre is the most significant or indicative of the Golden Age.

 

 

 

-atomic1950s

Great question, and an interesting one.

Seems to me a lot of people's answers would be coloured by their own preferences or focus or indeed mood. Schombergs, Actions, Horror and even the actual Funny books all have a huge input. But after giving it some thought, I am of the opinion that maybe sci-fi girlie books with lashings of GGA & headlamp/leggy covers seem to dominate the GA....or is it Crime books?

Hell, I don't know. I love them all anyway

Me second as yet Planet

Happy to add this to the roster and finally be in the Planet 9+ club.

Lovely book

Always amazes me that there are books of this age still knocking about in such beautiful museum type condition.

A wonderful string of Rangers covers!

 

What I love about Rangers Comics is the Werewolf Hunter storyline as drawn by Lily Renee. I think these stories are definitely worth the price of admission.

 

Here is Lily Renee's original splash page from Rangers 34, with a reproduction of that splash page in the upper right and the actual cover (and comic) of this issue in the lower right. All in one happy frame.

 

Brill

This is another favorite of mine.

 

 

 

Is she robbing the train or protecting it?

I think she's shocked because she's just realised her boobs are out of alignment.

This thread has exploded with some great stuff. Some wonderful art. Great frame of reference, especially for poor collectors like me.

Thanks Rick, I love it. It's only my second Planet but I'm into them big time already.

 

 

That's a beauty right there, congrats!

Thank you kind sir, I am kind of delighted with it, it's actually better than I thought it would be.

Since when do boardies become the "out of whack" judges?

 

Since they see books they want at prices they don't want to pay. Of course this philosophy is abandoned when they want to sell said book.

My first fawcett, not in the greatest grade but I love the cover.

new fawcett, new recil.

 

 

Was wondering when my old books were going to start going up on here.

 

Billy's 1st!

 

If I remember correctly, I bought that book from Matt Nelson off of eBay in an old Spectre52 auction back when nobody wanted a Fawcett book.

 

I bid on your Whiz 18, but didn't win. What a nice one.

Me too, that belonged to Roy. Well done!

Great cover by Kurt Schaffenberger
