  1. Just picked this up. Finally found a cheap copy.
  2. On the plus side there will probably be way better camera technology by then.
  3. I believe everything in the Florida museum is an original.
  4. Nice!! You must have some pics to share.
  5. Thank you. Very helpful. I'm still waiting for some feedback from the seller.
  6. I would probably try and report him. I would be very annoyed.
  7. By Frank Jr as referenced in the Art and Rememberences book "While Dad was doing paintings for different publishers & odd jobs, his big break finally came. Nick Meglin one of the "Fleagles" got him into MAD magazine on a commission to do a back cover advertisement-a beautiful likeness of Ringo Starr. This sent a big message to Hollywood & film producers back when original art was used to promote the film on the walls of the theaters. Shortly thereafter, the phone began to ring. His first big payday, the poster for "What's New Pussycat", was a check for $4000. Nearly a years pay in one week! It was like a million dollars to us. Mom & Dad ran out & purchased a new color TV & a beautiful Castro tiger-skinned couch with a bed, stereo & bar inside it. The days of paperback covers for $350-500 were now a thing of the past. Bring on Hollywood!"
  8. Will they have some insurance and window salesmen for old times sake?
  9. Interesting factoid. This started as a Tarzan painting. Frank didn't like it and repainted it to be Moons Rapture that you see above.
  10. Also, if anyone wants to ballpark a grade based on these photos that would be appreciated.
  11. All - I'm trying to help someone out who has inherited almost a full run of Vampirella (Warren). I'm thinking for the big issues an auction house might be her best bet as she is not a comic book person at all and doesn't really sell anything. So almost every aspect of selling these is a bit of a struggle for her. My first thought was just let heritage or clink do the hard work for her. Any thoughts?
  12. I think these are all the Frazetta ones I have. I need to get more organized.
  13. Yes. The second is complete garbage. One of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen considering how much I love the first one. And the remake. We don't even talk about that.
  14. I watch it at least once a month. Its in the rotation.
  15. It seems clear between the time it is taking and the grades they are giving they are trying really hard to dissuade magazine subs.
