CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN Appreciation Thread

I have always loved comics where the logo is incorporated into the scene.

Hit Comics #2 where the Neon is swinging on the logo is one example.

While not necessarily part of the scene, the way the titles are placed in the smoke on Showcase 11 just looks very cool and tasteful to me.

Fellow SA collectors.

 

I was in the market for a decent (6.5 or better) SHOWCASE #12. I was weighing bidding on the following item.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400125688508&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

 

After some question/answer with the seller, I felt that this book might be well below a 6.0 - the auction is over and my purchasing this book is now moot -- but I was wondering what your thoughts might be on the potential condition.

 

thanks,

Bill

Too awesome! I love the book!

 

 

Did you free it from its imprisonment?

Why? It looks so nice through the plastic.

And that number on the label

 

Plus I've read quite a few copies of that issue.

that cover is an "unnecessary exposition" classic, isn't it?

One of my favorite wash tone cover. And a great story as well! The Challs journey to another world to help a damsal in distress!

The #11 is one of the those wash tone covers that doesn't grab me. Oh well. Here are three more from my collection:
