#317 is one of my favorite childhood covers. It was the first time I'd ever seen Supes really angry, and I thought it was pretty damn cool. There are 7 copies in 9.6. I've got one, Alton's got one, there's the eBay copy, and 4 others. I thought Alton paid fair market value at $200, but he was meeting an asking price. Funny things happen in auctions.

 

A few other late Adams covers that I like...

didn't someone on these boards sell a 9.6 copy awhile back on eBay and it ended up at over $300 ?? or am I remembering it wrong ?

 

anywho, I also loved this cover as a kid, I drew a recreation of it when I was 13 (in 1981),

 

though my Supes is a little "thicker"

thedude: Dang that's nice! If I could have drawn like that back in the day... umm engineering may not have ever crossed my mind.

Very nice copy (of course)!

 

Definitely one of my favorites and one of my first purchases from my LCS last year when I reentered the hobby.

I can remember ordering and then cancelling a 9.6 copy of this one from Mile High during a sale a few years back because I thought $40 or $50 was too high of a price for it!
