Popular Post Grottu Posted November 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 Found this at a flea market 30 yrs ago, just recently sent it in. I clearly remember picking it up along with a Tales From the Crypt, some Conan mags and a couple Sgt. Rocks. Whole thing set me back, like, ten bucks.

HARD book to find unrestored mid-grade or higher! All but impossible to find in HIGH grade! Only 1 copy certified in high grade and that's only recently happened! GREAT score Billy boy!!!

The later issues have their appeal, but I get where you're coming from. You can get some idea of how Alex might've handled The Blonde Phantom, Sun Girl and Namora by his Nedor/Standard covers signed as Xela. Needless to say, those Marvel Mystery covers would've been interesting and the Torch undoubtably better composed.

I suspect this was entirely Stan's doing, even the tongue-in-cheek "fat of the land" wordplay in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
