Pics?

I don’t believe it does. With that level of stain, the book may cap out at 8.0/8.5 but not be in danger of falling below 7.5

BC pic would help

Mount Rushmore of inkers.. Sinnott Williamson Frazetta on his own work Everett

He was a master without dispute His work continues to reverberate to this day. Thanks for the additional info.

I can't argue Bob Kane's dubious history...a bit sleezy but his name is synonymous with Batman and thus has to be on the Mount

Father of Anatomy Known for his work on the Tarzan Strip

Exactly . The most important GA artists in comic book history I don't consider pulps, as beautiful as they are, comic books. I would be fine with including any pulp derivatives/swipes fair game as long as the book was published in comic book format. Strips would not be considered despite the greatness of Raymond, Foster, Herriman and Caniff.

If Mount Rushmore represents the most important figures in the history of comic books, that would preclude any of the strip and pulp artists. If keeping to GA then: Shuster Kane Simon/Kirby H.G. Peter

Ah...the Mount Rushmore thread...it may be "better" to break up the artists by era...Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, Modern, etc. However, if you're only allowing the top four most important artists as opposed to favorite artist, then subjectivity must be set aside? Are we strictly speaking American comic books? Would an artist/writer carry more weight than just an artist alone? My personal favorites: Baker Everett FIne Schomburg *Frazetta if we consider him to be a comic book artist rather than paperback/magazines paintings/drawings

3.0

1.8

I did not intend to imply that either of you guys were taking a stance on one side or the other. Just tossing in my $.01

You both make valid arguments but that does not satisfy Jeff's clean . If @Bfairb grew frustrated with the other "takes" that should not have impacted the sale to Jeff. Unfortunately, anyone still interested in this topic can only make assumptions, right or wrong, due to Bfairb's decision to disengage from the conversation which is fairly within his rights to do so. It just saddens me to see this play out on the boards.

There is truth in that As someone that prefers Golden Age, I sometimes get stuck in grading other eras and need to readjust my expectations

DOH! I dunno...7.0 seems quite harsh..

9.2/9.4 at best some generalized color rub, minor stress along the spine/staples..press that spine role out

ish...tears along the fc top edge?

You had me going until the bc I think the bc color rub even after the C&P will be the anchor on this book..a couple of cb ticks fc 9.2 after C&P
