Number 6 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't know if this is the right place to ask this because it's a "Collecting" thread, not an "Appreciation" thread so if it's out of line I apologize. I was reading through my Showcase reprints of Aquaman and I noticed that in the mid-20s issue numbers the art style changes a bit. I mean, the pencil artwork is still clearly Cardy, but it seems like the inking style changes back and forth. Some issues the inks seem a bit crude, another issue the inks are bold and simplified, some issues they're scratchy and almost seemed rushed in some panels. (I don't think I'm doing a good job describing this) Anyway, I know creative credits can be sketchy from this period but did Cardy ink all of his work on this series and was just experimenting with different styles of inking? Or was there a series of different uncredited inkers during this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 So Nick Cardy passed away November 3, 2013 and I realized there was no discussion on this thread about it (although these boards did recognize his untimely death in a separate thread). Thought it would be appropriate to give this thread a bump up so we could marvel over some of his most spectacular covers from the Aquaman run. RIP Nick.

ShawnDeath Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 One of my favorite covers. Is this considered 2nd appearance of Black Manta? Can't find any note of when it is confirmed. Now someone please sell me a 9.0 #35 to go with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 One of my favorite covers. Is this considered 2nd appearance of Black Manta? Can't find any note of when it is confirmed. Now someone please sell me a 9.0 #35 to go with! Congratulation on the pick-up! That's one of my favorite Cardy Aquaman covers too. It's one of the first issues I sought out when I started collecting the series. It is Black Manta's second appearance in the title. I'm not aware of any appearances outside of the title between #35 and #42 so it probably is his 2nd appearance overall. It's not noted as such in the OSPG and thus not noted on the CGC label. Probably because Overstreet doesn't deem it significant enough. Though with what's been going on with #35, that may change. Speaking of #35, get ready for some sticker shock. In the last 6 months, for whatever reason, key chasers have decided this is the undervalued key they just have to have. A couple of months ago a CGC 9.0 sold on eBay for just shy of $500, that's about 5 times Overstreet 9.0. Since then, raws in lesser grade have been selling for crazy prices too.

ft88 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Indeed the 35 is the book to get but with 42 such a better cover, that one may start to spike and soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I bought them both some twenty years ago and I don't give a tinker's damn whether the unwashed masses now want to consider either a key or not. Here are the scans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I picked up a nice 35 at Megacon this past Friday at a reasonable price. Look at the recent auction sales on eBay, it's a hot book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zosocane Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I posted this earlier on this thread several months ago, but it's worth repeating what Nick Cardy told me a couple of years ago regarding the cover to Aqua 37: that 37 was one of his personal favorite covers. Absolutely stunning cover ... the composition, the emotion, and the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
