Brad told me you had gotten one. Nice job, Andy Angelo

HG Kirby, you gotta love it. Nice book, Scott. Angelo

Super huge kudos to Rhino (Steve) for giving me a great deal on to gorgeous pre-hero Marvels. You're the best, Steve Angelo

Absolutely! The pre-here genre was a breeding and testing ground for a lot of ideas that Stan and the others ended up fleshing out later in Marvel's super-hero period. Tales of Suspense 6 has a great story about "mutants" -- defined in that story as people who have mutated to develop extra powers beyond the scope of normal humans -- and is clearly the prototypical theory for the entire X-Men and mutant mythos of the Marvel Universe!!!! And the main characater who poo-poo's the idea ends being a person with the power to phase through soild objects (hello Kitty Pryde prototype??) I also loved how many of these monsters were resurrected in the Bronze Age and beyond (Hulk fought the Glob, Zzutak, and others; Xemnu (the Hulk protoype) was a Defenders villain; Fin Fang Foom and Colossus were used in Astonishing Tales; and FFF returned again in Iron Man in the late 200s). PS: Angelo, that's a nice pickup from Ebay! I really hope Marvel decides to reprint the rest of the pre-hero titles in the Masterwork series. I'd love to read all those prototype stories....and look at the great art, of course. Angelo

Agreed -- your post reminded me that it's time to scan a book or two. I'll try to get to that this weekend. Feel free to post as many of your gorgeous White Mountains as you want Angelo

Thanks, adamstrange. I really enjoy collecting pre-hero comics. The chase is what makes it so fun. Angelo

Thanks, MK

Man, those are some upgrades. Wish I could upgrade like that. Angelo

Love that cover , here is the reprint edition And that's why you shouldn't watch too much TV, kiddies

Gorgeous Thors, SS

OK, maybe not. I think I keep buying pre-heroes just to bump this thread. Anyway, on the way from Rhino And one I got off ebay a little while ago Angelo

On the way from Rhino Won this off ebay a little while back Angelo

[quote}And my favorite of the bunch for, what I think is, obvious. Awesome cover Sweet copy If you ever decide to upgrade and sell your undercopy, let me know. Angelo

Great story! Really liked Krigstein's art. Good storyteller. Congrats on the book, Scott Angelo

Really sweet AITU, Scott. You can't go wrong with a comic that has a cadre of artists like that. Angelo

That's a stunningly beautiful page. I've been a fan of Jae Lee's art for a while, and seeing that piece really makes want to pick up some pages. Must resist, must resist.... Angelo

Nice pre-code, Scott Angelo

Not to take this thread off topic, but I just came across this today http://budplant.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_ITRH Wanted to make everyone aware it was reprinted. Angelo

Sweet book, Nik! Angelo

That cover kicks ! A high grade Cole is now on my must have list. Thanks guys. Here is one I got last week that I forgot to post. You don't see this one too often either... Sweet cover. Man,you're in a zone, Andy. Angelo

The colors are amazing! You printing these in your basement, Andy? Angelo

That is such an awesome looking copy. Congrats!! Angelo

Nice pick up, Andy Angelo

Thanks, Steve. I worked on this deal for about a month, and they arrived today. Probably it for me for a little while, anyway. Angelo

there is so many cool books it's hard to focus on one era or artist or title or ect ect! I know how you feel. Throw me in with that group. Members post so many awesome covers I've never seen, that I say "I gotta get me one of those". After going throught my Photojournals again, I've discovered the great, violent crime covers. Another genre to spend my money on Angelo Crime books are under the radar for the most part. I noticed that as I was doing my homework on ebay and Heritage. Hope they stay that way for a while Angelo
