Yes Cap #33 is one of my all-time favorite Cap covers for sure. Need to find a copy.

[Guardian Comics]

For Captain America or Torchy, I'll take Schomburg over Simon&Kirby

 

I think Kirby's Captain America is one of the single greatest acchievements of the Golden Age. I guess that's what makes horse races.

 

I'm going to have to agree with Adamstrange on this one. S&K Cap never really did much for me to be honest.

 

Once again we agree. The first 20 issues of Cap do so little for me

Actually I really disliked a lot of Kirby's GA work in general. A lot of those Adventure comics with the Manhunter covers and those spindly arms and legs were not his best work by any means.

Differing tastes make the world go 'round...

Adventure 73 and 79 are probably two of my absolute favorite DC golden age covers. The Kirby stories inside are very cool too.

Here's another...

Count me in also for the S&K fan club.

I only like 1-4...16 is ok as well..the later Schomburg covers are much more appealing like 26-33 (except 32 is Shores I believe.) Edited July 14, 2010 by Primetime

Don't get me wrong, I love Schomburg, but his images are so detailed that they can seem flat. Kirby Cap jumps right off the page like an athlete.

Its not that I don't enjoy the covers in general but what's with everyone looking like a bow legged chicken?

[Silver Surfer]

No Timely's posted in over a week? My favorite Everett cover of all-time.

OMG, if he holds that man under any longer he will die!

 

Oh wait, it's a baddie.

 

 

Nice cover! (thumbs u

[walclark]

Just back from CGC. Frankly, surprised by the Young Allies #4. Looks better than either the #5 (really brown and chipped edges on the back cover) or #9. It is a really nicely presenting 3.0 with decent PQ. Oh well, it is a crapshoot sometimes.

gotta love y.a. 9, and indeed all the timely green idol baddie covers.

Awesome haul...love that Nazi Death-Ray Camera on #5

Great batch of books Billy.

Great Books, All!! This thread has really heightened my appreciation of Timely books after being primarily a DC collector for the last thirty/forty years. BTW, I had my only Timely--a Marvel Mystery 54--slabbed a few years ago and it came back a 5.0. with Off White pages. Can anyone tell me what the GPA is on this book? I'd sure appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

If Toro can just blast a giant hole through the middle of the dam, does Tubby really need to be trying to use what looks like a highly unstable bundle of high explosives to do the job?
