Picked up this beautiful Hellraiser complete fifteen page story "To Mock Your Own Grinning" painted by Miran Kim:
Those are spectacular!
-
No, this was years before that.
-
I've always thought this printed just a little bit dark. Of course it might have faded a little bit over the years.
-
That is spectacular, Matt!

Gorgeous!I'm primarily an early GA guy, but couldn't resist this one (last issue of the series):

I don't think so, but I'll have to check. Seems like the Cthullu issue would've stuck in my mind, but I was mostly looking for REH, so I may have overlooked it. I'll let you know.

Picked up a nice little collection of Weird Tales this past weekend, ranging from 1926 to 1951. No 1st Conan or Batwoman covers, but still some nice ones, with over 2/3 of the 118 issues being pre-1940.

It seems like Dr. Hormone could have been a monthly issue.

I've added a sweet bronze-age classic to my CAF. Maybe "added" is the wrong way to put it. This page was originally traded to me and a friend by the late Jeff Jatras at a Houston comic convention back in the mid 1980s. I regrettably sold it and shipped it off to somebody in Switzerland twenty years later. When it reappeared two weeks ago, for sale on Mike Burkey's site, Sean Lackey (My Name is Legion) alerted me to it, and in just over a week's time, it was back home.
Frank Brunner's "GOD" page from the final Dr. Strange issue of Marvel Premiere.

Pretty cool, Malvin! (I'm still waiting to see that other piece added to your CAF)Anyone enjoy Hitman by Garth Ennis & John McCrea? I did so I'm glad to add a title splash and a great sketch by McCrea. Have a look!Malvin

I just don't understand lawyer humor.
Pardon my lack of certainty, but isn't that too early for a White Mountain?is that the mountain white copy?Beats me. I wish I remembered who I bought it from.
Feeble attempt at a pun by Parker. MW is written on the cover, hence: Mountain White

That's a great page -- I would have been all over that one if I'd seen it for sale. It gives a real sense of the era, and packs a lot into a single page.I have a small collection of original art and my wife always supports me. We have also commissioned art together, but at today's California Comic Con in Yorba Linda my wife spotted this page by Jill Elgin from Speed Comics #37 (1945).As a lifelong Blackhawk fan, I love these "Madame Butterfly" type characters in the WWII books, but did not expect her to start her original art collection with anything like this.

As long as this thread is sporting a Platinum theme, I'll use it as an opportunity to share a few group shots. A few of the items here aren't technically Plats, but they still fit the general comic strip theme. Others like Blasts From the Ram's Horn
are listed in Overstreet as Plats, even though they're really only books with illustrations.
-
If I remember correctly, the Abner illustrations in this are ghosted by Frazetta.

One last fun item. This is the original art for the Postal cancellation stamp from the 2010 Howard Days. It's by Jim and Ruth Keegan who do the Two-Gun Bob backup feature in the Dark Horse conan series and who have done the artwork for a number of Howard books by Del Rey and the REH foundation. This hangs in my foyer and is the first thing anyone sees when they enter my house. Amazingly it was my wife's idea to hang it there.

I've just added two new acquisitions to my CAF:
A late 1930s-early 1940s pulp illustration by golden age legend Fred Guardineer
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=852536&GSub=125763
The variant cover art to the most recent 30 Days of Night #2 by the incomparable
Bernie Wrightson.

Nice books, Mark. I always loved the Bringing Up Fathers, and completed the C&L run of 1-24 a few years ago. Since you seek these out, let me ask you... do you believe that 25 and 26 exist? BLB has said he's never seen them, and think they should be removed from Overstreet. I've been looking since before the days of the internet, and never seen any evidence of them.Ok, the forthcoming group shots are all of Platinum Age books but I presume they are welcome among their Golden Age descendants!I love these old books because of the history they represent. Frankly, they make for difficult reading as the generational humor has not been carried down through the century.
These are from 1919 - 1934.

Posted this before, when the deal was secured. But now it is in hand, and I snapped a clearer picture of it for your enjoyment.
Green Lantern page from All-American Comics #55 - January 1944

I've got one of those!Since we're in the shadow of the atomic age, here is my all-time favorite cap shooter...

Added this Glenn Fabry cover to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere #8 to my CAF. It was pretty much butchered in Photoshop on the printed version, but the detail and rendering on the original is quite nice.

I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!
