JohnT Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Awesome AF!! The hammer is eerily close to the Marvel version. So isn't this strong proof that Kirby had the Thor idea first, not Stan? Or maybe that's commonly known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Feeling blue on this very rainy weekend? I've always been a huge fan of DC's blue, regardless of hue. Check out the saturation on the HOS #3 (which just happens to be my own favorite cover from the early part of the title run). And yes, I understand that Strange Adventures is definitely not a second string sci-fi title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Gorgeous HOS 3! Is that the River City copy of SA 16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Fantastic covers Z !!! I am going to agree with Adam that the HOS #3 is spectacular. I love those SAs too. Super!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Fantastic covers! Your collection is something I can only dream about at this point, but I'm slowly, slowly building collections of these series. That Strange Adventures 12 is an incredible cover. It looks like Gil Kane inking himself? It reminds me of his much later 80's style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the mutant love-child of a DC superhero cover and a Fiction House Planet Comics cover. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inaflash Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've been trying to find a really sharp copy of SA 22. Your copy is very nice. Is it a pedigree? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You know, I have been thinking of putting up for auction some on my high/mid grade issues of early/mid-60s House of Mystery, House of Secrets, Tales of the Unexpected, and My Greatest Adventures. I was just pondering if anyone sees any kind of collector interest in these books of late... Thanks. Bill Second string indeed! Space Ranger just gets no respect! I'm always interested in high grade mags with Space Ranger or Mark Merlin covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, after all the great covers that have shown up on this thread, I am going to officially flip-flop and curse myself for even thinking of selling any of these gems!!! However, as I upgrade, I do sell my undercopies.... Oh, and speaking of Mark Merlin.. here is his first app. More HOS to come!

AtlasFan Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Who dosent love a giant robot cover? The orange and purple sky is just breath-taking. Just when you think that Z has shown you everything, he pulls out one of these babies! TOTU #23 is also a great book! I am a big fan of canary yellow covers.

The cover story by Infantino is even better, but drawn in a completely different style. If you'll look in Gerber Guide he accidentally swapped the scans of SA 50 and SA 30. For several years I was looking for SA 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
