I believe there was an article in one of the early issues of Comic Book Marketplace that focused on Pre-Hero Prototypes.

 

Does anybody know what issue this was in?

 

And does anybody have a copy of the article that they could scan and email to me?

 

Thanks!

Steve

I can tell you its not in issue 43 nor 65. Also, the centerfold of issue #43 shows color photos of issues #22-43 and I didn't see any mention of Pre-Hero Prototypes on any cover except possibly issue 36 (there is a photo of Detective Dan on the cover)

The article you seek can be found in CBM #21" Kirby Monsters on the Run! A Guide to the Atlas Monster Comics" by John Townsend.

 

There was another article on Atlas monsters by Conrad Eschenberg in the second issue of Overstreet's Advanced Collector Quarterly.' 'Prime Pre-Hero Marvel'.'

Greggy scanned that article in a thread in the OA Forum. It was in response to Steve's earlier posting of the same question there.

BIG THANKS to Cryptkeeper for sending me the scan of the Prime Pre-Hero Marvel article from Overstreet Quarterly. It is fantastic, and focuses on stories where Kirby and Ditko collaborated on the art. However, it doesn't address the prototypes. Can anybody shed some light on such an article that focuses on the pre-hero prototypes? :wishluck:

Would it look like this? :whistle::gossip: Alter Ego # 29 and it also suggests that there will be a follow-up article. I was at the author's home on Saturday and the stuff is ready, just Roy isn't finding room for it in the mag ...

 

P.S.: I don't read the SA nor the OA forum in general so I don't know how long you've been looking for this ...

I believe you can find early discussions about prototypes from time to time in the letter columns of the first series of CBM and the Overstreet Monthly (that soon followed it). These letters popped up as questions/comments in response to the Guide's then recent listing of prototypes. It then became kind of a competition to see who could find "forgotten prototypes". You can also check out the archives on the L-Kirby and Timely-Altas Yahoo lists for further discusions.

 

I dont recall a definitive article on the subject until the 2-part piece in the new Alter-Ego. I personally never get tired of talking about this topic!

Bill, do you recall in which issue of AE the second-part was published? It's not #30 and I don't want to start opening all issues to find it.
