AtlasFan Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) This thread needs a little love... Here is a nice copy of MGA #13. Great cover by Leonard Starr who did all too few sci-fi work for DC (he is best known for his long running newspaper strip: "On Stage with Mary Perkins". Also in this issue are some top-notch stories by Ruben Moreira and a cool robot story by Nick Cardy. Edited November 25, 2009 by AtlasFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 About time this thread got a bump! I love those early run MGA's, before they really got into the sci-fi/aliens stuff. At first the series had a nice unique focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yup, early in the series, al the strories were from the "first person" point of view. Notice that all the stories in this issue began with "I"..."I was a Knight in the 20th century", "I marries Lady Luck", "I hunted Goliath the Robot".

JohnT Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 This is one of my favorite MGA covers. Fantastic all the way around, but I love the stylized sand dunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 THIS ISSUE OF MGA IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND IN DECENT GRADE (FINE OR BETTER). THE DARK PURPLE JUST MAGNIFIES EVERY MINOR DEFECT. THIS COPY TOOK ME MANY YEARS TO FIND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 OVERSTREET LISTS HOM #68 AS THE ONLY ISSUE WITH JOE MANEELY ARTWORK. AS SOME MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, JOE SPENT A SHORT TIME WITH DC UNTIL HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. HE PRODUCED SOME VERY GOOD QUALITY ARTWORK IN SEVERAL HOM ISSUES. HERE IS THE STORY FROM HOM # 68. s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 NOW, HAVING SHOWN THE ARTWORK FROM HOM # 68, HERE IS THE SPLASH AND COVER FOR HOM # 73. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE ART FOR THE COVER! MANEELY DID THE ARTWORK FOR THE STORY. I AM POSITIVE ITS HIS COVER ARTWORK ALSO. IS THIS AN ALREADY KNOWN FACT?? IF THE COVER OF #73 IS NOT MANEELY, WHO IN THE DC "BULLPEN" COULD DRAW IN THIS STYLE? IT'S DEFINITELY NOT MOREIRA , ELY, MESKIN OR PURCELL. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the few stories that Joe did for DC were freelanced shortly after the "Atlas Implosion". Very different style than his Atlas stuff, but you can still see the artist's brilliance shining through. The #73 is actually a very rare issue in HG. Nice copy!

RICK STARR Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (thumbs u Wow, Bill your # 30 is unreal. As far as the wash tone goes, maybe alittle with the man and woman under the rays. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got this one in: That's an interesting and usually over-looked cover. MGA Adv has gorgeous colors but, in spite of the highlights on the foreground figure, I wouldn't call it a greytone.

Bill I've always considered Maneely to be the cover artist for that issue. It's very interesting to see him operating under the DC house rules as opposed to the looser style he employed at Atlas.
