The-Collector

Congratulations... I covet that book Book presents VERY well, great cover, a lot of history behind it and as much as I want a copy myself, that should become part of your 'black hole' collection to save and pass along when you are ready. Thank you! I truly hope that I maintain the financial wherewithal to keep this book so that my nieces and nephews can fight over it once I'm gone. A very cool book that has to rank among the best of the best from the GA.

+1

is it time for an update?

i was bidding on this book and the final hammer really surprised me.

great pick up. Burns' early work has really sky rocketed in value and that is if you can find anything for sale. Adam Baumgold has some periodical covers for sale at very reasonable prices but they are his later work and the only ones left are a bit too polished for my liking, and lack the impact of his stranger and less refined work. my pompous .

was thinking slow track.

scam +1 I have seen those pics being used before.

Really nice. It bothers me that my copy has cream to off white pages but I have never had the chance for a sensible upgrade. Not too many copies with White pages or even OW/W. A very nice copy.

Anyone get an economy or value tier back recently?

All the way from Borneo posting a TAKE IT.

Fantastic copy!!!! +1 If this is the copy that sold on Ebay recently I nearly cried when i realized i missed it. A great pick up.

:golfclap: :golfclap: :golfclap: :golfclap: :golfclap: :golfclap: Very very nice. Those Fessel Sandman covers are such classics.

$10417. So it looks like after commissions and grading fees someone ruined a perfectly good bound volume for no reason.

so true.

Very cool Jimbo. Porpucine I know what you mean re Brando.

Amazing!!!!

that is very good. Maybe it only seems so good though relative to the tediously slow lesser tiers.

Don't have scans yet but I have picked up the original art of this. Very happy. Darrow is one of my favorite modern era artists. Such economy of line and finely controlled chaos.

A very very cool book. Congrats on the acquisition.

I remember seeing a can of soda dropped on a pile of books at a con. I believe most were sa keys your all star 3 incident still makes me cringe The worst thing I ever saw was at a Philly con in the 80s. Jay Maybruck was particularly sniffly that day (which seemed odd to me as a teenager who was watching Miami Vice) and in an angry mood. He bumped into his wall of books and most of them came tumbling down. I remember not feeling very sorry for him but expecting a huge explosion of anger. He was pretty mad. When Greg Buls first put the Circle 8 collection out for sale at a San Diego show in the early '90s I pulled an entire long box of DCs, Quality and Archie comics. Beautiful runs of mid to late '50s of titles like Plastic Man, Black Hawk, House of Mystery and Archie. He had just purchased the collection and most of the books had not been bagged yet, much less priced. He priced the books that night and the next morning they were ready for me. The total was north of $10K, which was fair for over two hundred beautiful pedigree condition comics. But as he was getting ready for the day he accidentally dumped a whole Big Gulp size drink off of the edge of his table into the box! Almost all of the comics were soaked. We were able to salvage about fifteen books. It was a huge bummer all around. Well at least it was the DC's that were ruined. This story makes me cry. +1 (except i love DCs)

Congrats on a very cool book anyway.

send it back for a reholder?

Cool book jimbo.

Porcupine do you know who did the cover art? It is wonderful.

So many of the Sensation covers have elephants, rhinos and kangaroos etc. that remind me of Albrecht Durer's woodcuts. Very cool stuff.
