How do these 100-pagers look?

Some very nice books, Aman - and the pics are solid too

 

Love the N. Adams "group photo" - I wonder what the original art for that front and back would go for...?

thats an awesome piece huh? I liked it when it came out, especially Neal Adams' new radical dark coloring style on all these brightly colord superheroes. And only later found out it was a swipe/homage of the original All-Star JSA cover. And a precurser for Alex Ross' Kingdom Cove pieces. A great layout...

There is an anecdote in one of the (I believe) Jack Kirby Collector fanzines to the effect of...

 

DC Publisher Carmine Infantino was telling anybody who'd listen (and since he was the boss, lots of folks had to listen) what a great cover Adams had done for the 100-Page Super Spectacular 6th issue. And when Kirby saw it, he thought that was just nuts! A bunch of super-heroes just standing around with their hands on their hips?

 

Different perspectives...

the camera pics dont do the books justice. You can tell that they are nice, but it's almost impossible to get a feel for thier grades.

yeah. I agree. the photos were bad and not the way to take an image of a comics after all. But I d like to try setting up an easel bathed in indirect lighting, and a digital camera on a tripod, an djust bang through a couple hundred "scans" of my books. MUCH easier than the scanning process...

 

has anybody tried this??
