Thanks guys.I don't know about anyone else...but to me, Everett's style really seemed to kick into high gear during the 1952-1953 period.You could see that the horror genre really suited him. It looks like he took a major evolution in his approach during those two years.This Venus 18 might be one of my favorite comics ever.It will hopefully be one of the last books to go when I hit the time to sell my favorite books. I always wondered if the last 3 issues of the run (which seem to be in a class by themselves) were the result of Bill and Stan deciding that Venus didn't have to be romantic fantasy anymore.He was obviously having quite a blast when he did these last few.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Here's the interior scans I promised.I think I would have to say that as far as the interiors go....I think 18 is the best of the run with 17 a CLOSE second and #19 in third.Any other opinions ? GOD BLESS.. -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

That's a gorgeous book, Jim. The guys in green are intense. I admire Everett more every time I see one of his pre-code horror covers. I'm going to post some scans of the interiors in the "undead thread" in the GA section later this weekend.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Just got this today from Dale Roberts....been looking for one for many moons.I'll try to post some interior scans later this weekend.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Just got this beauty from Dale Roberts....man am I broke now.Dale was nice enough to let me make payments when he could easily have sold or traded it sooner...GREAT guy.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

The work you mention all falls within the range of Mod P.....and 20 K might not be too bad if you've got no tanning and nice pages.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. I was just looking at the Famous Funnies Frazetta portfolio you sold me a few years ago....it's one of my pized possesions.

Have you ever picked up a book with the sole intention of selling it....and end up loving it.I was always impressed by the black and white reprints of the Robinson / Meskin Black Terrors so I didn't mind keeping this til it sold....but it's SO cool.Since it cost more than I can get for it I guess I'll have to keep it.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

A lot of talented people on the boards....I wonder how many of us dreamed of being comic artists when we were young.GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Says who?? I read something to that effect a while back. It's a lie detecting technique. A right handed person will look left before telling the truth. It has something to do with accessing parts of the brain that store information. Take that for what it's worth. It may carry just as much water as phrenology. Then there is "The heart is on the left" thing. Looking left here may not indicate "truth", it may indicate "love". Or the third possibility is: Jimbo just thought it looked cool. My sister works with the environmental protection agency and has taken training in reading body language....she also mentioned that. I always look UP when I answer her questions....it throws her off. The world in the pool represents "fountains of living water".GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

They're a recurring theme in my paintings.....they represent omniscience,quantum mechanics, and the collective subconscious. I've also got a thing for logorythmic spirals.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

That list would be fantastic. Do you have a Mystery in Space 90 coming up for sale anytime soon? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Here's one of my paintings....."Adam and Eve Before the Fall". I 've done several of these abstract/surreal paintings and have even sold a couple....but never for enough to equal the number of hours that go into one. I've also done billions of pen and ink drawings, but most are gone now.GOD BLESS... -jimbo( a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

I would have to say that the top GA book would NOT be an issue of the Bouncer. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

I agree. It aslo absolutely has to be Superman or Batman. They started the whole thing, and are the true icons of the age. National media could not care less about the other heroes. Nor would they mean anything to the non comic buying public If it were a Silver Age question, then Spidey. You know Bill, it could even be a Captain Marvel or a Timely Schomburg. There are just so many incredible covers..Whiz #1, 12, 13, Mystic #4, Daring Mystery #3,4,5, Marvel Mystery #5, 9, Captain Marvel Adventures #1, 2....just so many covers....they are all timeless and reminiscent of the era. We should somehow get a list of nominations together and then vote on it. A poll ...if I could have any GA comic for free, with the condition that I could never sell it......Captain America # 1.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Gorgeous book, Steve. Beautiful colors. A great pickup! (thumbs u— Rick Those pages look nicer than OW.....Beautiful copy of a very tough book....those first 15 are so hard to find in 9.0. I guess we should start placing friendly wagers on which one will be the last one you acquire.....I'll say 1,3,and 8 will be your last 3.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

What a great feeling. I know how nice it is to pay off a book, and know that it is on its way. Spidey always had the coolest villains....Sandman one of the coolest.I wonder how he explained to the guys at Rykers how Webhead sucked him into a vacuum cleaner ? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Just curious, how many marriage proposals have you received since you joined the boards ? GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
