No. It seems to be entirely random.

Apparently Rick Parker had this to say: I think it’s a bit odd that I worked in the Marvel Bullpen from 1977 until 1985. I came into the office to work every day. I often stayed in the office until 10 o’clock or so doing freelance work. I came into contact with all the editors, the staff, freelancers, and others and I never heard anyone talking about any art being stolen. Out of the hallway or anywhere else. You would think maybe that subject would have come up at least once in all that time. But to the best of my knowledge though it never did. I did hear that people didn’t value the artwork much or that some of it was given away to visitors or just plain lost. In those days you could just walk in off the street walk into the office day or night. After 5 you could not get into the building without passing the front desk and having your name recorded. In short if there were thieves stealing artwork it would be super easy. And I think I would have heard about it. We talked about a lot of things. Mostly we talked about creating comics. But I don’t remember ANY of my coworkers ever expressing a word about art thefts. https://ohdannyboy.blogspot.com/2021/03/jack-kirby-and-art-of-theft.html

no its out of my price range.

That's what she said.

um that's not what she said.

One thing's for sure-these type covers are very rare and highly collectible.

A real missed opportunity by the director. Showing him handling it carefully and placing in box would have solidified his character as a nitpicker as well as demonstrated to the audience how valuable the book is. Never miss an opportunity to advance character and give details without telling them (exposition) by merely changing something simple. We're not talking 5 extra minutes of screen time here. 5 seconds would do the trick.

Here's Charles' back cover for Love Stories #5 btw

we need a new thread-psychedelic DC covers.

Action 594 synopsis from Dc fandom.com: Superman explains that Batman has the knowledge needed to decode such things as finger prints and paper stock, and he doesn't. Booster blasts Superman with his lakers (???), catching the Man of Steel of (???) guard. While he's down, Booster begins continuously punching Superman, and doesn't let up. Superman, still reeling from each blow, doesn't have enough time to react. The guy who can travel faster than light "doesnt have time to react"

Give me one of those!

You got me that time

You *** of a *****!

yep

Having drawn many comics and a couple GNs I have about a foot high stack of pages which I am always trying to give away. I have no use for them. I guess if I gave most of em away and one day they were selling for a few hundred or a thousand I'd go aw damn. I did manage to give 140 pages of The Chronicles of Dr Death to the writer and 24 pages of one of my Rapid City books to the writer's GF. I was glad to give them away. I did try to give away the pages of my GN Am I An A Hole or is it Everybody Else to @Buzzetta but he would not take them. I imagine it was like that back then. These are pages I took a lot of time to draw but-they mean nothing to me. Many of the pages have extensive drawings and notes on the back. If anything these are more important to me than the pages because they arekind of like a journal.
