Here's a question... This is up on ebay now. It's listed as being a LB Cole cover in the listing and in Overstreet. However, it really doen't look like one of his, and it's not even signed (as far as I can see). I know he did the awesome cover to #1 of this series, but IS THIS REALLY A LB COLE COVER?

Yup, and WOW! Double cover!!! I just love that cover. The perspective is unique, and just that hand in the upper left totally makes it. Throw in a little skull on the elephant and BAM! Instant classic!

Awesome books as usual, Jeff. This cover is more than suggestive - Especially the elephant's trunk With the direction she's throwing the knife, that would make this a classic circumcision cover. HA! Great copy. I have a cheap one, myself. Only 1 staple, but she's a beaute! After seeing this cover, i had to have it. The other JUMBO I want now is a #98!

Yeah, I really wanted one of the peacock paintings. I was only $120, then I bit it up to $400 and called it quits. I really hope there is some more of his stuff out there...

Oh, I also picked this up a few weeks ago. I'd been hunting it for a while now, and the colors are 10x better than this pic: And this a day or 2 after that. It's a tad beaten, but a solid VG:

Did anyone get anything from the Estate Sale? I tried like hell to get a painting or a cover re-creation, but constantly got outbid. Seriously, I felt like it was me vs. 1 other person on over a dozen listings. I drove up the price of 1 item from $350 to $700 before I gave up. I did end up with 2 cover proofs. 1 romance and 1 war cover. Captain Aero #23: http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=373623 Top Love Stories #7: http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=373284 Some of the cover proofs went through the roof too. Worth looking at the listings.

I dunno, but I'll buy it! It's awesome!!!

I'm up to 60-70 Cole covers, and just grabbed this off of the GA sale boards today:

I love those glass display cases , very nice !! Thanks guys! They are detolfs from Ikea. $55 + the light, which is ilke $5. The big corner one was much more though.

Here's a link to an article about my room that was on CBR a little while ago: http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/02/send-us-your-shelf-porn-57/ Complete w/ pics and links!

Just picked up 2 Cole covers, and a Holiday Comics issue too. His funny animal ones aren't my favorite, but they are affordable - plus I didn't have any of those yet. I slowed down a bit after my Startling Terror Tales #10 (same one as above). I think I'm up to about 60-65 Cole books. I needs me some more romance covers!

Just got in 15 Treasury Editions from THE_BEYONDER that are awesome! Everything was packed super safe, was as described, and I couldn't be happier. THANKS MAN!!!!!

Another "gotta have it" classic cover! Send it to CGC by all means. Unless you plan on reading it again and again which is also but if you only got it for the cover then submit it! Thanks! I got it in from a guy who was selling a small GA collection that was his GRANDMOTHERS, not knowing what was he had, and this was in the stack. You don't wanna know what I paid.... let's just say I got a good deal on it. Oh, and I have read it. I had to at least once! The cover's still the best part, of course!

I posted this in the "Spare a Grade?" forum, but I thought I'd share the love. I've actually had this book for a few years, but haven't posted it yet. I never really thought I'd actually own this comic, but I'm ecstatic that I do! I think it's at about a 5.0, give or take. I'll most likely send it off to CGC soon. Whadda think? (thumbs u

Sweet book! I just popped this on ebay. That cover is just too cool, and the $ was right. I'm also paying attention to the FICTION HOUSE thread over on the sale board. I may give this one some company soon.

Faaaaaaaar away... (For all pics and then some go to: http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg278/pmpknface/ ) And I just had to share this one too. This is in one of the living rooms: I have a lot more artwork up around the house, and lots more still to hang!

And just to be complete... Top of the stairs (and the Kitty): The other corner of the room (there's 6+long boxes there you still can't see): Close up of the bookcase (and the Marvel digests on the floor): This is what is behind the cubes, well.... most of it anyway:

Here are a few pics of my room. I've got a lot of statue pics, but I'll spare you most of them. Here we start at the 2nd floor before going up to the "comic attic." I've got another one of these bookshelves to put together. And then up to the COMIC BOOK ROOM!!! To the right: Closer: To the left:

I just got in a lot of Inhumans / Black Widow Amazing Adverntures from FASTER FRIENDS and they looked great! Thanks again man! - Jamie

Good eye Selegue!

Thanks man!

Anyone have a scan of MASK #2? I wanted to show someone what it looks like and my copy is missing a piece of the lower left corner. I'm shocked that there isn't one posted here! On a happy note... This week I've picked up: - Mask 1 - True to LIfe Romances # 17 & #19! I was on a Cole "hold" for a while, but now I'm back baby!!!

That TARGET cover is a classic! Congrats! I got mine in a solid FN from an early Vault auction. It took forever, but I scored the Wit and Wisdom cover about a year ago. It's an odd little book. I mainly have stayed away from the jungle covers because they seem to be 2x as much as some others. I much rather would have the horror and romance covers! I haven't purchased any in a while, as I've been buying a lot of statues, but I keep my eye open. I'd love to complete a SPOOK run, and I'm close to getting all the Startling Terror Tales. I just need the #11, and the Hyde cover (#10?)

Thanks. I'm a HUGE fan of the romance books because - They are cheaper - there are more of them (it seems) - the stories in them are great! The TTL 13 is in good shape, except for some writing in the middle. The #14 is in great shape though! I love that one!

Thanks! I used gmail's free photo-hosting deal. And I think those are maybe 1/3 of my Cole Covers. I'll try to get better pics up soon! Plus, I've gotten a few new ones lately.
