AtlasFan Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hola! Another great TOTU joins my collection. Wonderful Mort Meskin cover. (pssst...join the Mort Meskin Yahoo group -- this gives an interesting insight to this underrated 50's artist). Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Great book, Atlas. You sure find some clean copies! Count me as a big Meskin fan. He's very similar to Toth, and I like him at least as well. This new addition to my collection from Mid Ohio has a great Meskin story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 And finally, I picked up an early Mystery in Space. I guess that series isn't a "second string" series, but what the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Several "House" books recently received. Obviously not high grade, but all "nice for the price". Classic DC colorful covers! House of Secrets 30, Mark Merlin. One of my oldest but I have a few others all the way back to #2, a lucky buy House of Secrets 62, more Mark Merlin with especially wild coloring. MM had quite a long run -- has DC revived the character lately? House of Secrets 76, Eclipso/ Prince Ra-Man crossover House of Secrets 76, Eclipso/ Prince Ra-Man crossover again with that DC blue-green background House of Mystery 30, my oldest in the series and DC PINK! House of Mystery 98. generic monster but nice colors House of Mystery 115, element cover! House of Mystery 130, goofy monster. I wonder why this story wasn't in My Greatest Adventure. House of Mystery 146, getting into the superhero days but who can resist a Zook cover? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have probably posted these before, but since we are in a HOS mood, here are some nice Mark Merlin covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have probably posted these before, but since we are in a HOS mood, here are some nice Mark Merlin covers: One of the best Mark Merlin covers -- beats the tar out of the next one (I just posted #30). Amazing what a difference Elsa in a fur bathing suit makes -- right, classic DC Silly Monsters too. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 MM had quite a long run -- has DC revived the character lately? Nice house books Jack. I'm a fan of Mark Merlin too, and he did have a long run--a longer run, by one book, than Adam Strange in Mystery in Space. He's one of those obscure DC characters that were really good but flew under the radar screen. Almost all of his stories had excellent Meskin art.

AtlasFan Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 George Papp was most noted for his long run on Superboy titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Howdy, In many of the early posts in this thread, I used my file space at AOL HOMETOWN to store picture files. In its infinite wisdom, AOL had suddenly & without warning shut down its Hometown storage space -- this has resulted with many of those nasty little red X's in place of those wonderful TOTU covers. I will re-post all the deleted covers in the near future starting with these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
