whew....

 

 

my points 12.

 

Here's an easy break from some of these tough ones.

 

Who's wedding is this and who's the groovy dude on the right?

[silverage12c]

Elasti-Girl and Mento's wedding . . . and that's Tad from Super-Hip on guitar.

[bronze_rules]

close enough...

 

But, Tad IS super-hip.

[silverage12c]

close enough...

 

But, Tad IS super-lame.

fixed that for you . . .

[silverage12c]

That gives me 9 points.

 

Alright . . . here's a quick one, I think. Name the cover:

Nice-looking cover! I wish I had the issue.

 

I'll guess standard Silver Age giant stone faces plot B: To scare off an alien invasion.

 

(Silver Age giant stone faces plot A: They're a race of giants, usually aliens, in suspended animation. I don't think we'd see the faces being carved in that case.)

20 yrs prior, two explorers were in the Burmese jungle, they had just robbed some individuals of very expensive jewelry. Unfortunately, one of the men was attacked by a wild tiger. Rather, than helping him, his greedy partner left him for dead.

 

Flash forward 20 yrs later...

Flash forward 20 yrs later...

 

A man pays 20 thousand to a great sculptor to carve a photo of carl thurston's (the individual who was mauled by the tiger) likeness into the mountains (sort of like Rushmore ). Everyone wonders who is depicted on the carved image. So much so, that an individual offers 100 thousand to whomever can identify the individual who's likeness has been sculpted....

So... when the greedy partner turns up to claim the prize, Carl exacts his revenge?

 

That's the most unlikely revenge scheme I've ever heard (if that's it!)

Great Guess!!!! I'd post scans, but I don't want to keep taking it out of its slab.

 

What a great imagination. You should write for dc. (thumbs u

[He11blazer]

Well, you gave it away by providing the set up. Pretty crazy story

 

Give me a minute and I'll think of a decent(ish) question...

 

EDIT: My score = 3

[bronze_rules]

Actually,I cheated a bit on the backstory. It wasn't revealed until the cheating partner showed up for the reward and the reward payer revealed his face had been altered by plastic surgery. You can imagine the surprise on the greedy worm's face.

[He11blazer]

OK here's one!

 

From whose grasp have I plucked this damsel in distress?

 

 

 

[bronze_rules]

I could swear that's a barry smith drawing, plucked from the harpies of conan?

But I don't see it on the covers. Lemme look inside.
