Just exactly how many Holiday Girls CAN you fit into a phone booth?

Back to the 52 pagers. Love this Cardy creation.

 

 

Although I'm not a big Bronze Age horror fan, this one's a beauty!

Classic Pietà cover!

 

Beautiful copy.

The quintessential World's Finest Comics weird alien cover.

 

I'm one of those oddballs that doesn't believe that comic books woke up one morning in 1956 and declared, "It's the Silver Age today!" Even though it was 1962 with a 12¢ cover, this was a holdout "Atomic Age" book.

Gawd, that's embarrassing. I still can't figure out whether the editor (Dorothy Woolfolk, according to GCD) let Bob Oksner get away with these crotch-centric covers, or actually encouraged him. I suppose anything that stimulated sales got the green light.

I have to disagree, Jack. The weird aliens and monsters really got going in the 60's. In the Atomic Age they were generally a little more "pulpy" (as opposed to silly). By 63 and 64 they looked more like those kids' drawing on the Gold Key Fun Pages than sinister monsters.

This one's pretty blatant, isn't it! At least Lois isn't tied up.

Whiz Comics 127.

 

 

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies 127

 

 

Four Color 1270. Ignore the zero because we'll never get to this one. Good ol' Rocky and Bullwinkle. The white blotch looks worse in the scan that in real life.

Hmm.

You're almost convincing me.

 

World's Finest 1952-59

 

Lots of odd situations, swapped powers, gags, some super-villains.

 

1959-65

 

Many weird aliens from 1959-63, then the classic Silver Age superhero shtick kicks in.

 

One COULD argue that Batman was an Atomic Age holdout until his Silver Age New Look (logo with yellow circle) kicked in.

only 1 for today - and back to my liking for portraiture.

 

Green Arrow.

 

Hey - first day of CLink's GA auction - anyone shopping? I think I might try to acquire my one GA book of the year. Whiz, Startling, or Top Notch...maybe...

 

Till tomorrow

My custom cover to Strange Tales #127

 

This one I'm especially proud of, since it somehow became the main image on Clea's Wikipedia page! (Just for the record, this was not my doing.)

I'm not posting another 4th or 5th Flash issue unless it's a beauty. All of my books (non-key) over issue #100 are packed away in boxes in my other storage area. I could have a ball on this thread on New Years Day.

 

After mid-April I only have either Flash or Mad on hand. Oh well....nice books, guys. (thumbs u

Well, Dover, you trumped me with your beautiful copy of TOMAHAWK #127. Here's my raw copy, anyway.

It's day 128 over here.
