Here's a gem I bought from the fellas at Worldwide in Chicago last year and forgot to post. Golden Age Red Skull goodness :grin

Probably the nicest copy of this issue I've ever seen.

 

and much nicer in hand than the scan shows---kinda dark in the pic, not so in person.

Awesome Cap, Frisco-man! A tough book in grade. :applause:

 

Speaking of Timely acquisitions, I pulled the trigger on this raw Schomburg classic while at WorldWide less than 24 hours ago (VF/VF-). I'm still having trouble sizing files on my new scanner, so here is the original scan from Matt & Stephen's site:

Enjoy! :cloud9:

Do Timelys absolutely positively have to equate to men in tights battling Nazis and Japs?

 

???

 

Sometimes they even flame, ...but that doesn't make them any less manly men! (thumbs u

Ugh I looked at that books on their site for months, debated about making a move on it. Looked at it again last night as I was seriously considering it and then I saw it sold. :P Congrats, its a great cover. I think that copy sold as a 6.5 on Heritage but a slight miswrap must have been pressed out.

Could be worse, just imagine meancing snowmen, jealous dogs with capes and word bubbles.

 

Now you're talking my language!

Timely did, however, publish a much broader range of titles than the focus of the collectors on this board would seem to indicate.

 

:makepoint:

Yep, like Mighty Mouse - although immediately post-war. But we still get back to the tights thing again ... (shrug)

 

Some really nice books showing up here these past few days. Congrats to the new owners! (thumbs u

Thanks Surfer! :headbang:

 

I had this one bookmarked and had been drooling over it for months too. :insane:

 

While at WorldWide I requested the book from stock for personal inspection; I got the impression that Stephen was close to selling it because he mentioned several inquiries. After I looked over the book a little voice in my head said make an offer and the rest is history. :acclaim:

 

BTW, Stephen and Matt are great guys; trust me, that long rumored Pedigree book WILL come out (it should be an epic book, like Toystory's War and Pizza)! :banana:

You can have the fellow in the blue tights. I'll take the broads.

 

:/

 

 

hm ...The fellow in blue tights might take issue with you. ;)

I'll grant you that they do make themselves painfully difficult to ignore (especially so that other one), but let me assure you that I'll continue to strive valiantly to do precisely that. The other Timelys in my collection such as this one may help in that regard:

Thanks Xavier,

 

I could not agree more. It looks like Schomburg went the extra mile on this cover. Great depth of field with lots of mayhem going on, but not so busy that you lose focus on the center of interest. It's a visually powerful image and among his very best cover illustrations. (thumbs u

 

 

Mmmmmmm. Great stuff!

 

(thumbs u

 

The Timely funny animal books may not be my focus, but you do have a beautiful book there Hepcat, and Billy Parker's Kid Komics is exceptional. :applause:
