adamstrange Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 This is a Bernard Bailey and I've always love the unusual inking and placement of blacks. That's funny you should mention this one. I actually looked it up in GCD last night to see who drew the cover because it was so striking and unusual, and they list Lee Elias. I can see Elias in the faces. The story is Lee Elias...one of his better fantasy tales. Very underratted book, this one is! It's Elias. Late night posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nothing like an alien robot cover compliments of B. Bailey. Love the deep purples on this book. Mort Meskin's cover plus the entire issue. This one qualifies as second string DC, right. How can you go wrong here, heroic dog, dinosaur, A-bomb cover. Sweet!!

AtlasFan Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 My oh my, those are some swell books Z ! That HOS 3 is one of my favorite Cleo covers. And that TOTU 16 is quite rare in nice shape -- it contains that pre-JIM83 Kirby Thor story that you never see reprinted! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks, guys. I've been doing much more oogling than posting these lately, so it was time to pay my monthly dues! And you're right, Bill -- the TOTU #16 is a real toughie. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right, Bill -- the TOTU #16 is a real toughie. (thumbs u I think all of the lower numbers TOTU are starting to get tough. Decent looking copies are becoming far and few between. It's not like the good old days anymore where dealers had stacks and stacks of these on the tables for a couple bucks. DRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
