vaillant Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just received my very first Marvel Magazines (if we exclude the Captain Britain related ones from Marvel UK) and some Creepy with the Adam Link stories which I would like to complete. I haven’t scanned them yet, but will do so… Thanks to Bounty Coder for some of them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Indeed. The conclusive issue, not from Aaron but from Warren Oates – still a very nice NM- and was surprised by the crazy white pages! (I noticed Warren bought it from a reputable eBay dealer from which I also bought, which is 200% reliable on grading). I had to settle on the MP#7, also from Warren: thanks Warren for letting me have this well-presenting lowgrade copy at an acceptable price. Now that I have browsed it, I can tell the Satana story (which is an important one) looks fantastic, while the first apperance of Rocket Raccoon is a few panels at best. Nice early Keith Giffen art (I read that it’s his first professional work), but honestly who gives a dang about these movies… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 And a nice eBay find to start the Vampire Tales collection. About a FN+, but auction went nicely and I am definitely happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaholo1256 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Not as sexy as the others but it's a project book I plan to undertake next year in gaining as many comic creators associated with the interior as possible. Signed by Greg Land so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant-Man Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Something a bit different for my collection. A fanzine from 1970 with a Neal Adams pencil sketch on the front ... ... and this illustration by Tom Fisher on the back. This issue includes an unpublished Starhawk story by Roy Thomas (intended for Marvel Super Heroes?), an unpublished(?) Medusa drawing by Barry Smith & a Marie Severin Marvel Christmas montage. It also makes mention of a new Marvel black-and-white magazine called Savage Tales, with the first issue expected to hit the shelves on Jan. 12th.

vaillant Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I never saw Ink Spots before… art looks great. These american fanzines are very fascinating, it would be great if there was an index of them so one can know the specific content of issues. Just recently I purchased my first issues of FOOM.

Count Zero Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 In Ink Spots No.3 there is an amazing story by Fil Barlow called "Scarpion" Here is a quote by the author: "The story I did centers around a pacifistic race, called the Scarpion, who were hunted to near extinction for their glands capable of aiding organ regeneration in humans, there is one survivor. This solitary Scarpion has been kept safe in a hidden dimension blanketed by a sea of living, conscious, growths. A lone silicon girl races to protect the Scarpion from a hostile half-robotic intruder, who is intent on harvesting the Scarpion to restore his own damaged body. It is a tale full of irony and personal symbolism." If you ever come across this magazine, don't pass it up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickamabob Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 So happy to find this What is that big black-and-white piece of art in your sigline? It totally looks like one of the artists who did D&D book covers or modules back in the day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmazing R.J.S. Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's not OA wish I did own the real OA to it, this was a custom project my friend did for me. He used the real pages from the Adventures #0 comic to glue the two pages together to make it look like the real thing ! it came out looking terrific as you can see. And you are right this comic does have that D&D feel to it. The artist name is Peter Hsu. Hope that helped out (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks! I can't recall hearing that name before. The artist that work might remind me of is Erol Otus, who did a lot of the D&D modules, as well as covers for Dragon magazine. Both artists have a curved, airbrushy kind of shading and style.
