Yeah! What a real .

My mistake, I get it now. Action Comics #2! My favorite comic!! Yes, there does appear to be some cross-over influence. At least O'Mealia signed his work.

I may as well post the Double Action. These are NOT from my collection. I downloaded this image from the Dec. 2016 Comicconnect auction. It'll be the closest I ever get to them. The #1 shark cover is pure O'Mealia (published in color for Adventure Comics #41`)

There was also the Flyin Jenny #2 in the Sunday auction. Graded by HA as a 4.0, it sold for over $400.

I was just about to say: two birds with one stone! Here's a detail of my copy.

Rough, but oh so beautiful!!!

I am a huge O'Mealia fans as well, but I'm not sure what you are referencing. Which Action issue?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in developing a list of issues from the UK weekly printed comics in the late 50's and early 60's of Arturo Del Castillo's comic artwork. Specifically Del Castillo's Man in the Iron Mask and Three Musketeers stories. My understanding (from various web sources) is that these two stories were printed initially in the 50's in the Fleetway publication Film Fun. I have not been able to verify this. Then, Fleetway reprinted the Musketeers story in their Lion comics title beginning in 1963. After finding bits of information on the approximate dates of publication for the Lion reprints, I found (after some REAL digging) two September issues and one October issue from 1963. Fortunately I struck gold with one of the issues: October 5th, 1963. The story title is "The King's Musketeers" and is merely two pages before it ends with "stand by for more exciting adventure in next Monday's LION!". Since my two September issues have no Musketeer story (Sept. 14 and 21), I assume the story begins either with the Sept. 28 copy, or with the Oct. 5 copy I own. I did find a few lots on Ebay of Lion issues from this period, but was outbid (you have to perform an advanced ebay search of international sellers in order to even see many of the listings for Lion comics, and even then is difficult to find 1963, 64, or 65 issues). I debated placing higher bids, but without any guarantee of acquiring more of this story, I could not convince myself to pay the high shipping cost to have 20 newsprint comics sent over to the USA (in addition to the actual bid price). I am unsure whether the story is printed each and every week until its conclusion or if there are breaks between the weekly issues. In addition, I have no idea if the Man in the Iron Mask was reprinted in Lion. Amazon shows a collected limited edition of these Del Castillo works which is "not currently available". Other book sellers that show this search result have a similar statement that it is not available. After more searching for this collected edition, I read that it was never published. Something to do with the copyright. I have been a fan of Del Castillo's Musketeers and Iron Mask artwork since I was exposed to it on Comicartfans. I missed an opportunity to acquire a page of original art from the Musketeers story which showed up on ebay not too long ago and sold for over $2k. Here's a scan of a panel from that ebay sale:

Isn't that a one-piece? Incredible copy BTW.

The census only shows one 8.0 copy of Untamed Love #2. I liked how nice this one looked, so I bought it. Or maybe, I liked how cute the girl looked, so I bought it.... I should have taken it out of the bag for the photo. Oh well.

I think I should probably start with GCD. That site is my "go-to" when I want to look up any comics. Here's the first issue I listed:

Squeggs got it. CGC would like as much documentation as you are able to provide them, but it is best to send them photocopies of your certificates/etc so that there will not be any problems if the documents are lost or misplaced. I believe they also noted that they will not be liable for any lost/misplaced documents.

It has probably been covered here before, but since I am new to the Boards and did not want to review the thousands of prior postings.... WHY IS JOHN RICHARD FLANAGAN NOT GETTING CREDIT FOR HIS DC COMICS WORK? And subsequently, how do I go about changing that? Here is a list of issues that I attribute to Flanagan: Adventure Comics #36, #37, #38, #39 Double Action Comics #2 More Fun Comics #45, #48 Original art collector Doug Ellis has some incredible Flanagan originals posted on ComicArtFans. When comparing those to the DC cover work listed above, how can anyone attribute these comics to another artist? Oh, and if you have a copy of any of the above comics, please post a picture! I can look at Flanagan art all day long!

I suppose an unpublished Gentry cover can qualify for this thread?

Found the answer many pages into the Ask CGC topics list. Thanks.

Those 20 year old brittle pages might escape their notice!!

When the Batman and Superman 10 Cent Adventure comics were on the stands (2002?! wow), I bought the limit every time I went to my local shop (10 per visit). I've got stacks of those. This might be possible! On the flip side, why pay the grading costs for NG. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 1.8 etc copies of that?

That is a really nice book right there! How about a double cover #2?

Lovely comic though!

Rick, I'll take the True Love Pictorial (can't seem to figure out how to reply to your posting).

True Bride to Be #29, "Sweet Young Thing". Baker or not? Definitely Colletta.

HA! That's got to be his worst one (if it is really his work)!

Here's something interesting: A Harvey File Copy of Wartime Romances #16. The spine is completely split, and I removed the Harvey file marker from the book (was stapled to the cover and was beginning to tear).

I've been uploading photos of many Baker covers into my registry sets. It's tough trying to light these correctly so that the cases don't reflect. This is another of my favorite covers (my "favorites" list is just about ALL of them!).

Smokin hot! I don't have a copy of that one.... yet.
