I for one never get sick of Bill Everett! Thanks for the interiors post!

Ill econd that.Bill Everett is the man.That cover to Menace 5 is sweet.

All those splashes/pages look great. Stan was writing the stories for Menace and I've always assumed he picked who he wanted for the artists. For my money, Menace is the best Atlas pre-code title.

It does seem to be an all star line up of talent. It's a neat ,short run that won't send you to the poor house from collecting it. GOD BLESS...

P.S. It almost seems like an early attempt at amazing adult fantasy.

Thanks Joe, hope things are going good with you.GOD BLESS...

Taking slight Hiatus. With my new House I have a lot more display room, so I have been working on my tiki mug collection.

 

This is the back wall of my studio, a little out of date, the photo is missing about 7 mugs.

 

You have a TURNTABLE .They just had an article in the paper about a record collestor around here...20,000 LP's. Judy still has most of her old vinyl....we've got the Stones 'Sticky Fingers' with the actual zipper on the cover.GOD BLESS...

I got it from Andy at www.goldustcomics.com and he told me to expect nice PQ.He is knowledgeable and honest about that.This stuff is NOT easy to find with nice paper.GOD BLESS...

You guys are probably sick of my Everett junk....but here's some interiors of Menace # 5...one of his more notorious efforts.GOD BLESS...

Kudos to Andy at www.goldustcomics.com for an expertly graded Menace # 5 .It arrived from the U.K. in less than a week and was delivered yesterday during hurricane Hannah.It set on the porch all day and night and didn't get wet .GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

This got here yesterday from the U.K. in less han a week from Andy at www.goldustcomics.com .It was delivered yesterday during the hurricane and set on the porch all day and night...packed so well it didn't get wet .I would HIGHLY recommend this dealer...excellent grading.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Just got this fom JvR11....as nice a copy as I'll probably ever see. A chap could go to his grave waiting on a high grade copy of this one. Tight and glossy...whatta book .GOD BLESS....

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

I couldn't believe it...but JvR11 agreed to sell me this, just got it yesterday.I'm going to put up a couple of interior shots....grainey digital as the book is too nice to mash in a scanner .GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

YO DOGGY.....What do you do with something like  THIS LITTLE BEAUTY ?

....GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Time sure marches on....FF 8 was my second early FF back issue...a little nicer than this one for the princely sum of $ 7.50 . It didn't have tape on the spine when I got it so I put some there .Hey...tape wasn't a defect. I got it from Howard M Rogofsky. GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Not actually here yet...my third favorite of the early FF's. I had wanted an 8.5 but I think the days of me affording that have come and gone. Nice color and centering on this.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

They may have been cheap, but they were rarely available.

 

Now that they're more expensive, they're seldom available.

Atlas seems to account for maybe 5 % of new listings on GA Horror on ebay.Outside of www.terryscomics.com and www.metropoliscomics.com I don't see them much at all.There's a couple U.K. sites, but I guess most of them ( Atlas Horror) ended up in the trash back in the day.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Always LOVE that cover....who could argue with a Kirby sci-fi city on a purple background.? It would definitely make my top 10 list of Avengers covers....maybe top 5.GOD BLESS...

7 years as of July, last month. When I started I wisely gave myself 10 years to complete the project. Now it looks like I will finish early ... if I ever find those last 7 books.

 

Have you shown pictures yet of your collection? I'll have to check out your WTB. This would be great for you to get the final 7. How do you know you have everything? That must have been a project within itself to determine all the comics published in that month.

 

I have posted this pic elsewhere on the board. It should give you an idea even though the pic is dated by now, i.e., I have more books displayed but the look is the same -

 

 

You are correct in thinking that determining which books I needed was a task! Once I have found the last 7, I'll have to do an audit to see if I missed any. I know where the holes are:

 

1) how do I figure which book(s) in the Avon Periodical series I need?

2) how do I figure which book(s) in the A-1 Comics series by M.E. I need?

 

Both these series generally lack dates ...

 

3) I probably should pick up the March of Comics issue from that month.

4) I still need the second issue of Treasure Chest that came that month.

 

But, right now, I want to find those last 7 of the "original" 424.

 

Nice picture!!! Great idea and a great room. I feel like sitting down there and reading a couple of Lorna Jungle Queen books!!!

Once you complete it, we should all chip in and get you a nice French Maid who looks like Betty Page...to keep everything nice and polished.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

...and those would be the ones listed in the Want To Buy forum ? I'll have to check a few spots for you ...but it may be awhile.Could you update that list as you find them? GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

What an interesting idea...how long have you beeen on the hunt.? GOD BLESS...
