Issue #28 is another very tough book, with only 8 Universal copies in the census.  It has a great cover depicting armed pirates taking over a vessel.  The captain’s distressed look is understandable, given that his undersized billy club is likely to prove ineffective against his assailants’ swords and guns.  If you look closely, you can see Flessel’s signature subtly hidden along the ropes. 

This non-pedigree CGC 9.0 copy tops the census.  No one has seen a Church copy.

that pirate bottom right is one of the most evil looking guys i ever seen !!

does that mean this great thread is over ??   ohhh nooo !!

bumping a thread i plan on reading

Superman/Superboy has saved the world many times over..

but this time he saves a deer !

With the exception of when he was impersonating another artist (e.g., NA #16 (Shuster) and Tec #18 (O'Mealia)), Flessel typically signed his covers.  Can you spot where he signed the NA #27?

i had to really enlarge the image to find it !

i have a weak spot for snow covers !

Issue #24 is considered by many to be a Flessel masterpiece.  I agree. 

My copy is a CGC 8.5.

 

this is better than 99% of anything they have ever had on display at the 140 million dollar art museum they built in East Lansing

i feel like i have free entry to a famous museum.....what a treat !!

this is like watching something famous in real time !

Hello, everyone.

I am new to betting, and I want to place a bet on the Iowa-LSU game tomorrow night. Can someone please explain what these numbers mean?

I understand that Iowa is considered to be a 1.5 point favorite. As I understand it, if I bet on Iowa to win, they must win by 2 points or more for me to win my bet. If I bet on LSU to win, their score must be within 1 point of Iowa for me to win my bet. I also understand the Over/Under bet. What I don't understand is the last column titled Money.

I also understand that Las Vegas might not actually consider Iowa to be a 1.5 point favorite, but they are setting that number to encourage more betting.

the one thing i know is the over (O) under (U) 168.5 so if you bet that it's the total score

the line is only LSU getting 1 and a half points so it's almost as straight up bet , whatever you bet that is very close to what you will win

RIP Ed Piskor

at least 7.0 

hopefully better
