    Here is the best (IMHO) British Sci Fi cover ever - "The G-Bomb" Incredible mushroom cloud graphic - great draftsmanship and composition
  2. Surfing Alien
    Here's some more Dell fun... #433 King Solomon's Mines movie edition with Deborah Kerr & Stewart Granger...
  3. Surfing Alien
    Sweet - welcome
  4. Surfing Alien
    Some wild British-ness. Post-nuclear age alarm-ism. I really love Glama, who was on the back cover of countless British Sci-Fi titles

    awesome... nobody cares about anything rare in these here parts but this is rare for sure...

    Awesome Pulp! Kind of funny how in 25 years the cover subject went from a cowering dude in a dress and funny helmet to a Buxom Blonde and Mr. America in a banana hammock

    Then, before you know it, you're collecting Bantams

    So then you have the Dell "bug" to deal with

    Then you start seeing cool Dells and it's like "hmmm, i'll look out for those too..."

    Actual "Tough Kid From Brooklyn"

    I too first got hooked with Avons - Tough Kids from Brooklyn are a weakness of mine

    Nice copy, never saw this one before - you've got excellent taste in JD!
  13. Surfing Alien
    I need me a copy of this one!

    Paperbacks are relatively worthless... but I like this one... the true first... i'm post-crossing it from the Peanuts GA forum just because its worthless there too

    This here is one of the rarest of the rare - but it's in a bit of a limbo land between the comic books and paperbacks and there is very little info out there about the true first printing. It was reprinted dozens of times with various changes in cover details but you don't see the first correctly identified.

    I'm honored to be the custodian of this very fresh copy He was a big influence on my skepticism about everything in adulthood

    RIP Harlan Ellison... JD....
  18. Surfing Alien
    Definitely has that !!! look - cover is actually by Julian Paul per Warren's paperback guide http://www.askart.com/artist/Julian_Paul/101959/Julian_Paul.aspx It appears that he did quite a few paperback and digest covers.

    The blurbs... and the titles... are awesome

    Another one of the many suggestive Avon covers (and titles!) that also appeared in their comics. This cover is the same as the comic book Romantic Love #7

    Wow... I had no idea Stanley Meltzoff was an American Icon ... what a career! Many Signet covers including most of the Iconic Heinlein Sci-Fi covers... and of course... the Fish!!! http://www.silverfishpress.com/Book+Covers/id/40/

    The content barely fits the "JD" label but the cover art is amazing & totally in the genre. Plus the condition of this copy just set me back a step. It's square and glossy like it was on a rack new.

    Recent pick up - this is the 11th printing. The 1st in red is the best but I love the new gaudy gold banner and it is still under the first edition number... #798 and has the iconic cover art.
  24. Surfing Alien
    I would think the Digest sized paperbacks should be a no-brainer as well.

    All the work for Archer is legendary in the PB world
