rodan57 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 A recent CL purchase. I wouldn't normally go after a relatively common book with a bottom miswrap but I liked the idea of a pedigree book where I knew the name of the original collector. Perhaps, as with a lot of collectors who began first collecting in the late 60s and early 70s, I used to imagine what it would have been like to have started collecting just five years sooner in the early 60s. This type of pedigree, with a name on the front cover, provides that sort of link to the past. This is the book broken out of its tomb. The scan (or computer screen) doesn't do the colours or cover-gloss justice. The artwork by Kirby is on a grand scale. This splash to Tales of Asgard is impressive. Colletta is certainly not everyone's cup of tea but he provided a unique "surface" to Kirby's pencils and contributed an additional element of the "epic" in Kirby's work for JIM.

trmoore54 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I think we need to post the Heritage scan. And Tom's copy again to compare. (thumbs u That OA is awesome! I doth coveteth! Wonder if a version exists with the 4 face drop-ins/overlay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan57 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 When one views the original art, you can see the need for overlays. I am not much of a "floating head" fan in cover design, but I can see that without the heads, there is no connection to the story within. I can understand Stan's decision.

Not only that, but I'm betting the book winds up a few months from now in a 9.6 holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
