Ted Knight Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 i REALLY love this one, d.g. so glad to have it. Wow. Still looking for my copy of that book. That and Green Lama 6 are the best Raboy covers. Something about the breaking of the swastika that is so iconic. Some of these Master Comics are just miserably hard to find. All locked up in collections, I imagine.

cheetah Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The 'other' Captain is shockingly absent from this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 That 13 looks also like it's a Raboy cover. If not, it's someone who draws well and is trying to imitate Raboy. Both are really cool books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamlet Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Did someone mention Raboy Captain Midnights? That 13 looks also like it's a Raboy cover. If not, it's someone who draws well and is trying to imitate Raboy. Both are really cool books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he's trying to mimic Raboy, but the face is definitely not Raboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he's trying to mimic Raboy, but the face is definitely not Raboy. agreed, I don't see that the way the face is drawn precludes it from being by Raboy. It's not so different from the examples provided, it's not badly drawn and is too small of a portion of the image to, in my view, be a disqualifying factor.

Hamlet Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 You can have that one for twice what I paid I actually haven't seen this book very often in high grade. I've seen the 17 a couple of times (heck, the Church copy is available at Metropolis for just $3K ) I bought the one I posted as a 6.0, and I think that is probably right. It has some paper lose and a little tearing at the staple that would prevent me from grading it higher. I think it looks pretty in the mylar though. I suspect that if I ever sell the Captain Midnights (all in VG to VF- or so) that I have been accumulating (I'm waiting for the movie ), that one will stay in my collection. It's my favorite Captain Midnight cover. Did someone mention Raboy Captain Midnights? That 13 looks also like it's a Raboy cover. If not, it's someone who draws well and is trying to imitate Raboy.

Ted Knight Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yet another book that looks much better in hand than the scan suggests.
