Definately some early Mac Raboy covers from Master and Cap Jr. That is some gorgeous art there.

[nearmint]

archiefan, that's the first avatar that's made me laugh my head off. Hilarious!

[archiefan]

Thanks nearmint. The original has over a 100K file size and is longer and more detailed. Took me a while to get that sucker down to under 20K which is the limit. So who knew ol' WebHead swings both ways.

[Timely]

Heres' a nice robot cover for you!

[Timely]

Here is a Robot cover you never see, and it is awesome! White Mountain Copy too!!!

[garthgantu]

Damn! I hate it when my planet gets removed...! Very cool stuff... !

 

Shield, How about a nod to Barks, Marge/Stanley, maybe Walt Kelly..? How about a wall devoted to various characters' appearances in Four Color comics? That way you could have everything from Smilin' Jack, Tracy and Terry and the Pirates to Donald Duck, Little Lulu, Pogo, etc.

 

Or maybe the idea is to keep the room dark and forbidding enough that the kids never want to venture down there...?

[Shield]

I'm sure you're all aware that I'm buying a house, and the close date is December 5th! I'm going to get some MLJ prints blown up and print them as artwork for the basement walls (of course I'll photoshop them to make them "perfect" first), along with some non-MLJ books. I really like books like Fantastic #3 and some Centaur covers.

 

So, which covers would you get blown up from the golden age era to be framed to decorate your basement?

 

I was thinking off the top of my head:

 

Pep Comics #20 or #22 or #29

Archie Comics #8

Top-Notch Comics #2

Zip Comics #3

Hit Comics #5

Fantastic Comics #3

Amazing-Man #5

 

Any other thoughts? What are your favorite covers of the golden age from any publisher?

 

(No Action #1's or Detective #27's please...I never want to see these covers again!)

 

[Shield]

It's been a long time coming! Here are smaller versions of the scans that will be going up next. I pick these up next Monday! I found a place that will do them for $3.50 per sq. ft, or $10.50 per 18X24!

 

I just liked these covers for some reason....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[adamstrange]

Quite a selection! I think you'll be happy with that eye candy.

[CW]

Weird Comics #1 would be a good addition.

[RareHighGrade]

You should consider some of the pre-hero Detectives. They are among the best of all Golden Age covers.

You know? I absolutely agree with you. I love 1, 8, 16, and a few others - they're so simplistic (the cover idea) in many cases, yet so "1930's". I love 'em. It was tough to not just pick many of them.

I love #9, 11, 12, 15, 25, & 26. Used to own a #26, and I really regret parting with it.

 

Maybe someday...

[Timulty]

I have decided to collect the Flessel covers of Detective in VG or above. I figure 1 a year for the next 20 or so years. Those covers are that good!!!

[CW]

Maybe someday...

I predict SD this year

[adamstrange]

Some artists to consider:

 

LB Cole: Mask 2 is a pretty dynamic cover.

 

Lou Fine: Wonderworld 7, Fantastic 3, etc.

 

Jack Cole: Silver Streak 6, Plas 1, Police 25

 

If you want to mix it up, they are posting the 20 bronze age covers in the bronze forum.

Maybe someday...

I predict SD this year

 

For me or for you?

Does it make a difference
