One last Thing, then I'm done.

 

The last thing you want when you're sitting in a filthy, wet alley in a nice suit, sweating like a wildebeast is being harassed by three disembodied heads with their mouths sewn shut.

I picked this up not too long ago:

Yeah, those early B&B's sure are sweet.

I wish most modern comic artists would learn something, ANYTHING, from the great Russ Heath.

Hey guys,

 

As promised, a smattering of Russ Heath's Atlas war covers. None in super high grade - but they're still killer. I love these. Here's my absolute favorite from my collection.

 

 

That's killer. Great background colors too.

Man, this thread really makes me want to be a kid reading comics on the early 50's.

She's gonna slap him whether he kisses her or not. What a [embarrassing lack of self control]!

Patsy's red hair and dress almost looks as though it has been silkscreened; it really makes the cover pop!

 

Great books Bigfiver!

Indeed. <jealous>

So he's pushing on the depth charge while someone is apparently shooting and hitting it???

Can you say....BOOM!

Here is something I've always wondered what the cause was. I have commonly noticed on many of my books these rectangular indents on the cover. Usually around the staple area on either the top or bottom staple. Are these indents left from the book being stapled or perhaps from being folded? Dice, Anyone...thoughts?

 

Afraid I can't help but i have some with this same flaw

If i had to make completely blind guess I would say it's caused when the book is stapled. Perhaps some part of the stapler pressing down on the book while the staple is applied.

 

I really don't know what they were thinking of when they came up with this cover.

 

Nice set of books!

 

They weren't.

More like, "What were the smoking?"

Some pal Superman is!

Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head........................................Explode!!!!!!

Nice books btw.

Don't mean to p*i*s*s* anyone off here, but those 50's DC superhero stories were just ridiculous. What were they smoking?

Hey Jayman, think you could do that with the other covers, too??!!

 

I'll do it for issue # 5!

 

Has this turned into the emoticon thread?

That 141 is sweet.

 

Yeah, it sure is. Anyone know who the cover artist is?

 

the legendary Nick Cardy !!! !! !

Ah yes, I should have guessed. Cardy ruled!!

That 141 is sweet.

Yeah, it sure is. Anyone know who the cover artist is?

Lou Fine is excellent no doubt, but Matt Baker is my pick. His stuff is just too good.

Final 2, I dont want to bore anyone,

Are you kidding?

Post more!!!!

 

That cover is the basis of my favorite Photoshop Phriday pic...

 

You need to start your own thread with stuff like this.

That Mysterious Adventures logo is really drab in white on purple background. It jumps out quite a bit better when yellow on red background.

 

Sooo... Andrews' ghost is in a skeleton form. Oh and it's alive. Ok, sure ...

 

And she wants him to shoot it. Shoot a skeleton with a pistol??????

And the backups in Sgt. Rock after 1980 were for the most part grade-Z hackery.

 

Some of that stuff was done by guys like Bissette and Truman, and ( I think) even by the Kubert brothers. Have to check out those issues again.

Wow, 9.6 with a miscut like that. In my opinion.

Kirby. The Losers. A match made in Heaven, or the sound of an 18-wheeler hitting a massive pile of turd?

 

I've had this debate many times with a lot of DC war fans. I'm always amazed at how polarizing those books are.

 

I love the Severin Losers tales best of all, but the Kirby books have always had a special place in my heart too. I still contend that OFF #152 is the most action-packed DC war issue OF ALL TIME - it is just a panel by panel assualt on the senses, and it builds to a frenzied crescendo that Kanigher never pulled off on his stories.

I prefer the style of guys like Severin, Kubert, and Heath on DC war books. I love Kirby, just not on the Losers.

Oh Yeah!!!!!

Heath AND grey tone.

Nothing better. <drool>

Early 70's DC war rocks!

Kubert, Heath, Severin, Toth (a little), Glanzman. Great stuff

Never really have seen comics that were quite this graphic. But I'll tell you, if they were going to do it, doing it for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series was the correct pick!

More graphic than Faust, or just about anything Tim Vigil Book? Faust is just disgusting. Don't think it was in color though.
