Kid Colt Outlaw 1

[Scrooge]

That Kid Colt 64 is actually below my normal standards

 

Believe it or not, so's mine IIRC, it was a mail order from Sulipa and I picked it up for cheap and didn't feel like returning it. Even I have standards and at a con, I would have passed on that copy.

Want to know the difference between a high-grade collector and a low-grade collector?

Just count yourself fortunate not to be afflicted with OCD.

 

It would be particularly frustrating for you in the Atlas western arena....their are no 9.4 copies of most. .....but they're so cool that even a 9.0 will have a transcendental quality. GOD BLESS...

Nah, after collecting HG early SA DC, I`ve become pretty Zen about the whole thing, as I`d have no expectation that I`d be able to pick up a complete run in 9.4 or better within a few weeks. If stuff appears in high enough grade at a decent price, I`ll make a run at it. If not, that`s okay too.

I would be very interested in seeing the results of you,setting your sights on an Atlas area. I love genres that are both scarce and affordable....not much in the way of buyer's remorse because of the smaller commitment. Some of the Atlas horror stuff I was hunting for a few years back was truly exhilarating. I would search dealers websites, auction houses, eBay, shows and would still only find a few oppurtunities at Fine plus and above. When I would finally locate something it was definitely a "YES!!!! " moment. GOD BLESS...

Not a Timely, Atlas or Kid Colt, but a Severin cover that I really like:

 

I'd be hard-pressed to find a Severin cover that I dislike.

 

 

Wow, that is a stunner!

Here's another book I picked up with the RK.

Fantastic books! Here's a re-post that belongs in this thread.

 

[erehwon]

And a few never before posted.

I`m starting to come to the conclusion that the Timely/Atlas/Marvel westerns had some really great covers!

One or two nice books. That's it.

Here's another from the same period.

Here's a slightly earlier Two-Gun. The villain reminds me of John Carradine.

Big name cross-overs made for some great covers at the creative height of the Marvel Silver Age

Those are great covers! I need to be on the look out for a KCO #66. Love that cover in particular!

Agreed great cover! anybody know who drew it?

John Severin. He signed it along the spine.

Now we're talkin'! Jeez I love these Kirby westerns. These might be the pre-hero Marvels of the 21st century.

Hmm...well, I dont know about that...

 

The stories and artwork for these werterns are pretty repeatative. I do enjoy the early Kirby RAWHIDE KIDs and the odd western-monster/story cover, but they dont have those wonderful 5 page Ditko gems that make each pre-hero special!

(thumbs u It's the combination of the Kirby imagination and the Ditko other-worldliness that makes the pre-hero's so special.

[KirbyJack]

Just meant that they're still mostly under the radar. In '88, I got laughed at for buying Amazing Adventures #6. Now lots of people appreciate those books. I could see a time when big wallet flippers shell out real money for a CGC 8.5 Two-Gun Kid #60.

 

Or maybe not.

When the Kid Colt movie is the top grossing film of 2017 - all bets are off.

At least you weren't laughed at for looking for Dial H for Hero.

 

I was also looking for pre-heros and many other unusual items at that time.
