I'm not aware of a list available on line.

 

Here's the official web page with lots of interior pics.

VERY COOL, thanks (thumbs u

Here is another shot. Most of these covers are favorites of mine. Glad Greg did this one. DC and Marvel need similar publications for the golden age fans.

The book shows the cover of KO KOMICS #1 and attributes the cover to Jack Kirby.

Has that ever been verified? Would CGC grade it with a "Jack Kirby Cover"?

Wow. Next step, click that "Add to Cart" button on Amazon....

Seeing the cigar store/news stand picture with the comics hanging from a line with clothes pins

reminds me of the day I saw and bought FUNNYMAN #1. It was hanging just like that in a

group, in a store window. It was the first time I had ever seen anything by Siegel & Shuster

other than SUPERMAN. I wonder what else was hanging from that line in the window...only had

one dime.

Did you feel it was well spent?

[Marty Mann]

You bet...I'm the only kid on the block with one...and I even have #2!

I just got my courtesy copy of this book and wanted to join the chorus of folks recommending this book. It's very cool!

Weekend bump for a great book.

 

Just received my copy for my cover contribution. Brings back good memories. One of the early books about comics that I picked up was Richard O'Brien's. Found several grails flipping thru the pages!

 

This book has quite a few more covers with just a bit of dups from Richard's book, plus a nice little write-up on each. Highly recommended.

[excelsior1986]

Sweet. I can't wait to pick this one up.

 

Which covers did you contribute? I'll keep my eye peeled for them.

 

Also, I don't mean to krap on your thread, but I ran across this book a week ago in the bay area and am looking forward to this one as well. I'll probably buy both of these at the same time. It looks like this one came out in 2010 but I have never heard of it until last week. So, if this has bbeen posted about already, sorry.

That's a good book but one you should get that's better is this one by Greg Sadowski:

[PreHero]

Or you could buy all three books!

 

Only contributed one cover, but it was one of the last he needed and not easy to find: New Fun #3.

That's what I did (thumbs u

 

I'm a fan and would recommend all of his books.

I saw this one too. I liked the horror better at first glance (better PQ, better pics of covers, etc) but if you guys say four color fear is better, I'll read that one first.

I plan to!!! Just as soon as my tax check gets here.
