Why do you think the label doesn't give credit to Maneely for cover art..?? Stunning book... ...puts mine to shame..!! ....Congrats.... -
You might try the Lone Ranger, although I find the "adult oriented stories" a little racy. Here's one that comes to mind.......actually, it's more about his horse Silver. The Lone Ranger was ambushed and capture by an enemy Indian War Party. The Indian Chief proclaims, "So, YOU are the great Lone Ranger! In honor of the Harvest Festival, YOU will be executed in three days. Before I kill you, I grant you three requests. What is your FIRST request Huh" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse." The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger who whispers in Silver's ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed, "You have a very fine and loyal horse, but I will still kill you in two days. What is your SECOND request Huh" The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a voluptuous brunette, more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Rangers tent and spends the night. The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed, "You are indeed a man of many talents, but I will still kill you tomorrow. What is your LAST request Huh" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse, alone." The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent. Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, "Listen very carefully......for the last time.....I said bring POSSE....!!!" Sorry, I couldn't resist.

TakinShotsToQuit replied to Silver Surfer's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I'm all about westerns but I can appreciate the passion for war, horror and those super hero guys. Yes, "static poses"...that's the word I was looking for, thank you. I enjoy JM's static poses immensely. However, looking at your Battlefront 11, War Action 12 they don't quite measure up with the Heath, Everett covers...again imho...but "what's missing" here he's "got' in his westerns, on static poses. You hit the nail-on-the-head, I gotta agree with you; JM has a lot of misses, I've said the same way back in the thread when discussing this very topic. Speaking for westerns......Maneely, Severin and Heath are my main staple. As for Everett, I'm guessing here, I'd say it wasn't his forte. If I'm wrong correct me, but if it wasn't for Two Gun Western # 12 2nd series he would barely be noticed within the Atlas runs. I recently sold my low grade copy so I don't have a scan to throw up but if my memory is correct adamstrange has a sweet copy....if he reads this maybe he'll post it for us. Here's the only two Everett western I have. If you know of others I'd like to see 'em or at least know the titles. Gotta throw up this WO # 3....just another book that grabs me. -

Really nice copy of OF # 2...best I've seen. (thumbs u As for Maneely, I give him more credit than you. If it wasn't for his short life I think ....well, I'll leave that speculation out there. The OF # 2 is good but he did so much better, imho.....I know the Black Knight fans would agree. Generally speaking, I myself like his frozen art more than his action frames, If that makes sense. Regardless, he had a nice 'edge' to his work. Oh, by the way, I don't have a copy of that OF # 2....I'm envious. Here's a few of my long standing favorites; -

TakinShotsToQuit replied to Silver Surfer's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Agreed, one of my many faults; not exploring other genre. Again you're correct, I know his war books are just as attractive. I purposely don't spend time reading/viewing all the threads but I have seen a number of his covers. Very nice, enough so that I'd throw down some coin if I continued lookin'. Gotta force myself to turn away. I'll keep my eye out for the reprints....Tks Forgot this one; -

TakinShotsToQuit replied to Silver Surfer's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
They are nice books (thumbs u although I don't see 'em as JM's "best work"....other than being an unusual character and rarely seen, they're as mundane as a lot of his covers. Haven't seen the insides so I can't speak for that. Don't get me wrong, he's my favorite artist....on my part it's a; narrow collecting focus as well as a possible closed mind. With a closed mind and shallow thought , here's what I think ranks up there : -
