Korvac Saga

Real early to post this....but I am really happy to say I just completed TTA and TOS full runs in a deal with a board member! I had been working on these runs for years. I will post the three books when I get them. Here is the scan from the seller of the TTA #4 last book I needed from that run.

Nice looking copy of an obscenely difficult book!

Woohoo, way to go Frankie!! (thumbs u

waaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Nice!! BTW, I knew I should have bid on that 8.0 copy from awhile back. Turns out to be current top census!!!

Picked this up at SDCC last weekend from Superworld Ted. The price was reasonable (though still well above Guide, of course) and it has nice pages.

 

I wonder if JIM 89 will ever breakout in Overstreet and/or be noted as a classic cover?

 

 

Its a classic to practically every JIM and/or Thor collector alive. Why Overstreet doesn't make a note is curious. Great copy, BTW!

I have nothing better to do today but make another stupid video. I like pulling out some monster slabs and looking at them. And look at them. Click the screen to get it rolling.

 

 

 

Best 1:56 I've spent all day!!

I have really started to like these books.

 

Unparalleled art, epic stories, real collectibility, sense of wonder...

What's not to like? (thumbs u

So well put!!

Fascinating, thanks for all the hard work Tom!

 

(thumbs u

(thumbs u (thumbs u Thanks Tom!!

I also chipped in a little bit of recent sale supporting data, including this beauty.

 

Now that I've got the book in hand I can finish thanking Korvac Saga for pointing this one out to me on eBay. As some of you may remember, I bought an 8.5 copy of this book on eBay about a year ago that I ended up having to return because it was stolen property. This one is a tick lower in grade, but I am very pleased with the copy. Rich, whenever we meet the first round is on me!

 

 

After my pickup of the #3 in the last Clink auction I'm now 40% done on the run. Only the two black covers and the pricey #1 to go!

My pleasure Art!! That book belongs with you. (thumbs u

WOOOHOOO!! Spread the TTA love!!

WOOHOO!! I always like to help spread the disease!!

my first nice grade PH Thanks to a boardie too

(thumbs u Cool!! There's some nice people here, despite what you hear and see in Comics General.

Great books Frankie and Art!! And speaking of spending too much, just got this one:

I need to upgrade my #11 someday. Tough book to find in a decent grade.

One of the absolute toughest of books. Only 16 copies on the census which is the lowest among the first 20 TTAs. TTA #4(20 copies) and #5 (19 copies) are next fewest and those 2 are beasts as well!!

 

 

 

 

And here's his new neighbor:

 

 

Incredibly difficult issue in HG!! How sweet it is

Thanks guys, thrilled to have it!!

Interesting catch on that cover swipe. The real answer is that because of some things he did in college, that monster had a tough time getting work. Also, an old football injury prevented him from being able to fully lift that right arm, thus limiting his range of poses. Kirby with his big heart took pity on him an used him to model for the 2 covers. The King's heart was as big as his talent!!!

Thanks!! (thumbs u And I think you'll find you're amongst friends who share in your "hero fatigue".

Another tough prehero:

Here's the nice TTA #13 that Rick Starr was referring to:

Here's his next-door neighbor:

And here's his new neighbor:

Thanks Rick Starr, a certain boardie is indeed loving that TTA #13!!

Will post it next to its new "neighbor" later!! (thumbs u

Classic!!

 

Great guess ! Didn't realize I was favoring TTA...

 

This one is a little toasty on the edges.

Tough book! Sometimes there are none or scarce even close, so you have to take the toast. (thumbs u

Finally joined this club. Been wanting to for a long time. Little color touch but I knew that when I bought it. Crease is in the bag not the book.

Welcome to the club.

Nice and welcome!! (thumbs u

Who cares about friggin' video games!!

 

well its just not accurate clearly the inspiration is the blip, refer to top right.

 

That is more plausible!!

Doing the classic horror circuit. Finished Frankenstein a few months ago. Almost done with the Complete Works of H.P.Lovecraft and half way through Bram Stoker's Dracula. Nothing like the source material!!

Great books everyone!! I'll get a copy someday

Who cares about friggin' video games!!

Newest additions to the fold:
