Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar... 30 30

[Silver Surfer]

My latest Timely...

 

 

... and at rest in the gentle arms of Mr. Eames...

 

 

Hint: Still technically true, but given recent predictions maybe not in five or so years. Any guesses?

 

Just call me a tease.

 

Red Raven #1??? I have no idea as I don't collect back covers. C'mon spill it!

[Cat-Man_America]

Aww, shucks, ...that Johnson Smith ad should've been a dead giveaway!

 

OK, I'll be nice; here's one last hint: it IS a "Yeller" cover, but it's not Red Raven; that should narrow the choices down considerably).

 

If no one guesses in the next 30 minutes, I'll post the front cover.

[Silver Surfer]

Subby #1?

[Cat-Man_America]

Nope! But that was a great guess.

 

Are you ready? (drum roll please) ...

Lovely. You know I thought I saw that missing from Metro's site recently. It was Metro's book, correct?

[RickHigh]

Thanks Surfer, it's a gorgeous Timely key!

 

It may have been listed at Comic Connect (Metro's alternative site that handles consignments and auctions), but it wasn't part of the Metropolis inventory.

 

This copy was up on the CLink site and recently Heritage. An offer was made to the owner and the sale was brokered through Heritage.

 

I'm a very happy camper.

Thanks!!!

Congrats David! Definitely an overlooked book given the lack of a generic red Schomburg cover, but you've got S&K, Wolverton, & a Nazi ghoul torture cover. What's not to like?

[Timely]

I Love the Rocketman Basil Wolverton art in USA #1 & 2. Congrats!

a wonderful copy, to be sure, but, sad to say that usa 3 does nothing for me, which is unusual because i tend to love the white-bannered books.
