Found this going through some other old ebay purchases:

Great looking book.

 

That cover is another example of why the cover is perhaps the single most important page in a comic book.

 

Hope you don't mind if I use it as a study in composition...

Earlier this year I acquired the preliminary cover to Kid Colt Outlaw #162. I was intrigued by the rough cover layout design by Marie Severin, who worked in the production department doing artwork touch ups, corrections, house ads and drawing or designing covers for Marvel titles during the late 60s and early 70s.

 

Marie's cover concept for #162 is really quite interesting. It's bold and the action is fierce. The action lines (bullet trajectories) aid in depicting motion and the supporting character elements add to the violent scenery. The Kid figure, however, is somewhat small, unimpressive and doesn't have enough punch. Moreover, the overall scene lacks the power of perspective (sorry, Marie).

 

Enter Gil Kane, whose final production cover explodes with action and dynamic motion. Kane utilizes Marie's concept but amps up the visual strategy by using a larger body size for the Kid, a leaning posture, exaggerated arm and leg positions, a modified relationship to the ground plane, a startled horse movement, and the overall pictorial perspective trimmed by the picture frame creates a sense of aggressive action and forward moving motion. The cover now has dramatic impact and the Kid appears to be literally running off it!

 

Anyway, you get the picture (frame). Now who do I give my 20¢ to for a copy?

Some highlights from my latest CGC submission. Special thanks to Joey for all his outstanding work. Always a pleasure to deal with.

Apologize for the huge pics, still getting used to flickr

Send me a PM if you really need a copy (I have a slabbed copy, as well).

Show us the slabbed copy, please! You have a 9.8, right?

 

Yep. Still have the 9.8. My scanner can't handle slabs, though.. I can post the same crappy pic?

There's no such thing as crappy pic of a 9.8 Picture Frame. Especially when it's one of the tougher titles.

Two bullets are unaccounted for...the shooter must be hidden bu OK's butt... or is someone (Rafael Cruz?) shooting from a grassy knoll?

Quit buying all that modern carp and maybe you would have some.

Unreal. How is that even possible. And what the hell were you thinking, Greggy?
