Fabulous. I love the comic-book swipes and near-swipes. Lois Lane 11 is close, but not close enough. DC liked this cover concept. Jack

Hot day-um! I'm starting to get jealous of that couch. Jack

OMG :sick: :sick: I'm wondering how many Action 1'sTec 27's, and Spawn 1's are in that pile!!!! Spawn 1 Yeah, I think the answers are too many, too many, not enough. JPS

Thanks for the analysis. I'm going to bounce your thoughts off a GCD member who's very good at Dell artist ID. Jack

+1. New one to me too! +2. Wow! I sure wish I owned more than a cover scan especially now that I've drawn the attention of you high-rollers to it. Iron page Clueless Jack

A Disney seems out of place in this thread, but that's a great looking copy! I see no more rational place to post this book. Is there a problem with the title of this thread? Or is the problem perhaps with the focus of the collectors posting in this thread? Bondage cover... with potential iron torture if Chip And Dale come along....?? Iron torture? JPS

Which two? If you can definitely tell Gollub from Wilson, I'd be glad to edit the data at GCD. Thanks, Jack

To be honest, they`re my least favorite of the painted covers, but they definitely still beat the heck out of the photo beefcake covers. By a weird quirk of numerological fate, issues 57 and 75 happen to offer polar opposites of the types of covers that were typically featured. Beautiful copies! I pick up beaters when I see them for the right price. GCD credits for the covers posted: 55 Morris Gollub 57, 62, 73-75 Moe Gollub?; George Wilson? I wonder if the "superior" covers are all Gollub and the lesser ones are Wilson. Does one of you know for sure? JPS

The gorilla slobber is a mere coincidence. JPS

G.I. Joe of the Jungle? These look remarkably like the Saunders (and Anderson?) Ziff-Davis covers. PS -- I see that you already commented on the Gross-Saunders similarity "Like Norm Saunders, George Gross was a pulp artist before the war who gravitated to paperback then magazine covers in the post war period." Jack

Very strong colors on that book. Congrats! Very nice! I wonder if anyone has found the photo reference for that pose. Is it Nijinsky? Jack

HAW! Care to squeeze the weez? Jack honk honk

... covers are by LB Cole and the one on the right is hilarious. You have a priest, a rabbi and and a minister up front shaking hands and soldiers drowning in the surf behind them. What does that say? ... That the four of them (who's the fourth?) should have only three parachutes? Jack

It's the Vince Colletta background inks that make the cover, for sure. Jack

1. Might be a scanner issue. I'll have to check 2. Yes. My name is Lamont Larson, and I enjoy seeing it in print, even on my comics Hey, Lamont! I have one of those too, obviously a nicer copy because it doesn't have anybody's name written on the cover. Let me know if you want to trade. The book includes Triple Terror, Mirror Man, all kinds of fun features -- almost enough to keep it off the short bus. Jack

You're wrong. Just about every suburb I've ever had the misfortune of driving through has been really boring. This is the suburb where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, all the children are above average, all of the residents are middle-class, apparently Caucasian bipedal animals, and the worst crime is when some toughs shake down Beaver for his lunch moneyy. Jack

Ohhhh, so it's New Funnies that are considered trash in these here parts! Well then you've come to the right place anyway. Here are scans of my three earliest ones: I enjoy the series up until the mid-late 1940s -- Li'l Eight-Ball because it's so outrageous to modern eyes, Kelly artwork, the more raucous Woody Woodpecker, Raggedy Ann, Frank Thomas' Billy and Bonny Bee. They really sputtered out later. It seemed like all the characters moved to some dull suburb that exists only in TV sitcoms. Jack

Nice lab scene! From Startling Terror Tales? Jack Yes, that is the interior of Startling Terror Tales 10. It is also a reprint of the Dr. Jekyll story published by Fox. Thanks. Wonderfully frenetic. JPS

Nice lab scene! From Startling Terror Tales? Jack

"anymore?" If there's any Barks artwork in them (only in New Funnies??), I suppose they're disqualified. Great-looking copies! Jack

The terrified squealing of pigs being slaughtered was mixed into the sound track of The Exorcist (and other movies, I think.) Lewis Carroll used squealing pigs a lot, so they show up in the movie versions of Alice. Then there's Deliverance. Jack

sabu is certainly not one of the better fox efforts, but perhaps not the worst... I NEED it! Pretty good likeness, isn't it, Snarky? JPS

Odd. The gorilla's head resembles Gumby's. Jack it's beginning to look like the Short Ark

Is it just me, or is this bus getting shorter? Jack (and less rectangular?)

Wrong. They are cool Cool or scary? Jack I hope it's not contagious
