JohnT Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Great books Beaumonts! You can see Strange Adventures go silly as time went on. By 160 or so the cover themes were getting pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Every time I pull one of these out to scan, I end up reading it again. DRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 These later issues of Strange Adventures did get alittle wacky, but they are great fun. From a scifi perspective, the stories are still pretty good with outstanding artwork in almost every issue by Anderson, Infantino, Kane and Sid Greene. It was 12 cents well spent. Some of my favorites. All these issues shown were from Murphy Anderson's personal colllection which I picked as a lot from one of the old Sotheby's comic auctions. This cover remind you of the TV series "V" ?? You gotta love it. How do you even think up a cover like this? This is the last Atomic Knights appearance.

AtlasFan Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Nice Strange Adventures books! #143 is one of my favorite covers. The ATOMIC KNIGHTS and SPACE MUSEUM are 2 of the best sci-fi series from DC...the third would be SPACE CABBIE from MIS. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm going to have to start collecting the early 12 centers, at least. Those are some classic covers. The 143 is a great greytone, but I really like the 138 dinosaur cover! Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Here are a few of my favorite issues of Strange Adventures. Fantastic giant robot cover by Anderson. Now this one is really tough to get in nice shape...is it a prototype for Negative Man or the precursor for the SA reappearance of Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt? You cant go wrong with a Washington & Linclon cover... Dad's an alien!!! Nice Kane cover. Maybe Charles VanDoren really saved the Earth from aliens?

RICK STARR Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Great selection Bill. Maybe its about time to identify or tag some of these issues as prototypes or "precursor" issues (like the ST #54). They would then become more valuable, that would be great (since I have 'em all, hee-hee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Kirby's Negative Man...is this a prototype of the Doom Partrol character or could this be a "warm-up" (ouch!) for Johnny Storm's Human Torch as he appeared in FF #1?

RICK STARR Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Here are some nifty SA covers. I found myself looking through and re-reading some of these issues. What great stories and artwork. A dime well spent. This issue is one of favorites. Anderson's aerial view of the Capitol building is awesome. a> Must have a Gorilla cover in the mix! This issue is alittle harder to find. Love this cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love these types of covers...lets celebrate the black covers with the bright blue Earth, shinning like a star! Mystery In Space was famous of these covers...
