Do I get points for creativity?

Frightful Four to Fab 4

Cosmic Aeroplane to another Cosmic Aeroplane

That's fantastic!!! Wasn't it an amazing feeling, seeing that second page become available? Likewise, I look for the remaining pages of the story, but will be satisfied with what I've found, just happy that it still exists!

You're just in time! Hopefully this thread will go on forever, with collectors stopping by to praise the greatness that is John Romita Sr.

Cosmic Aeroplane to Cosmic Aeroplane.

It's a beautiful copy Billy Boy!!!

I was fortunate enough to not only get this cool Fiction House Jungle Comics #22 Wambi the Jungle Boy splash page by Henry Kiefer, but some months later I was able to obtain page two from the same story!!!

Splash pages are harder to come by, as there are usually only one per story, perhaps 4 - 7 per issue. I've tried to buy them when I see them. Iron Vic splash from Tip Top Comics #89 Bernard Dibble art.

Hot water to the hot box.

Really? No one? He lobs one straight down the center of the plate and nobody's there? Ok, I've got it handy ...

I knew someone would know what the original inspiration was! Thanks Ben!

One of my very favorites!!! Such strong purple!!!

Amazing cover to amazing cover

I have seen other covers by Guardineer that were heavily inspired by other artwork. I think the Action Comics #8 cover is another case of being heavily inspired by another work.

Was the Action #15 in there as well? The story I'd heard about these covers (all Guardineer btw) was that the reason they were saved was because Guardineer himself saved them, as he was given them in place of payment owed to him by National at the time. I can't confirm the source of that information, but it IS what I heard.

Yup, that's not a lot of comics to draw from and I don't have any of them anymore, which stinks, because at one time I had them all except the Marvel #1, but I don't remember if they had house ads in them or not. Well, the Mystic #1 ad is pretty awesome, so I guess that's a good start!

Yeah, I like the connection to comic books and I'm going to attempt to keep it to only comic related pinbacks and fan club materials.

WOW, what an awesome story!!! My love for the pin extends back to when I had a copy of New Fun #3 and saw the mascots inside! I've only looked "very casually" for the pins, usually only when I remember to do so. I could see this leading to another rabbit hole for me to go down and I already have so many now!!! I'm going to proceed slowly, with the Fun Club pin being my biggest want. I DO think that Fu Manchu pin you posted is pretty cool too though!

Ha! This was my first time addressing multiple things in one post. My replies are in red, in case it confused anyone.
