100 Classic Covers - Tribute to the Golden Age

[GreatEscape]

Amidst the current carnage on Wall Street and deepening financial crisis, I continue to appreciate and welcome the “great escape” provided by our wonderful hobby.

 

For your viewing pleasure, I offer a personal tribute to GA Classic Covers—a photographic celebration entitled “Portraits of Valor” that I presented to a diverse group of hobbyists (collectors of rare coins, antique maps, vintage autographs, etc) to highlight the joys of GA comics collecting and a few of my treasured books.

 

Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I did putting it together. Market is down again today, but at least we have GA comics!

Nothing more than creative Google-ing and a spoonful of Powerpoint tricks...

allright, count 'em up; which one of you big shots has the most of those covers?

 

 

[Durden08]

Fantastic work! Your books really "pop" with those nicely done backgrounds. Lots of GREAT books in there too.

[Ze-man]

This was a real treat. Love the grouping/format.

 

Was a pleasant diversion while I ate my lunch, thanks for posting this.

Great books and super presentation!

That was a pleasure to see, thanks for posting!

[VintageComics]

Very nice work.

 

Billy Parker, do we need to see another shot of your collection from the skybox?

 

 

I think one of the next big books I'd be in the Market for would be a Daring Mystery #1. Just love that Schommie cover. Man...

 

GE, is that All Winners #11 Banner's old book?

Is that Subby #4 the one I think it is?

 

Great art work.

Yes, that's Banner's old AW #11, but the Subby #4 is the Rockford copy. You might be thinking of the Subby #2 that we looked at together...

 

Nearly a dozen were purchased from Forum members...kudos to them.
