Just bought my first Centaur book!

Now, it's very low grade and missing 2 back pages, but it's worth it to me to get to read these stories!

 

EBAY LINK

Congrats!!!! Not a bad price even considering the condition. If you look at the "Have a cigar...Golden Age" thread you will see a beat up copy of The Black Terror #15 I got off Ebay for $8 bucks.

 

 

Someone has to give these beat up copies a good home

Great buy. Bill Everett was much farther along in his style than his contemporaries. That cover is gorgeous.

The first seven issues of Amazing-Man (starting with the first issue, 5, through 11) have the best Amazing-Man stories in them. Those are the issues that Bill Everett worked on. Really a tremendous story arc, although each stands alone as well.

 

The Shark is also a fascinating concept, a very underrated early aquatic hero.

 

Here's hoping you enjoy it! And if you need scans of the missing pages, let me know.

I was just looking at that seller's auctions last night...

 

Congrats on your purchase!

Sure! Wanna swap some MLJ scans for Centaur scans? I really want to read these books; I have owned at one point almost every MLJ. I always enjoyed the Centaur covers, so if you have any scanned, please let me know! I have MLJ's in both pdf and zip format; your call.

 

Thanks !

Shield, Congrats on the Amazing Man,can't go wrong there!!!!

Here's one I just picked up last week!!!

[lou_fine]

Is that really a purple cover on the Amazing Man #11. Not a very common colour and certainly a very nice cover. First time I've ever seen that book.

 

Congrats on the book and where was you able to pick it up from?

[CentaurMan]

Great Amazing-Man 11! I have 16 of the 22 issues of Amazing-Man, but that's one of the 6 I'm missing. It's MUCH rarer than #10 or #12, for some reason. Beautiful!

[Bronty]

I think that used to be my copy!! I sold on one ebay maybe two years ago.... Strange to see someone else scanning it as their book

[PUNYHUMAN]

Lou Fine, CentaurMan, Bronty, Thanks for the Kudos!!! To answer your questions,that is a Purple Background you see. I don't think my scan does it justice as the colors are darker & rich. It really caught my eye when I saw it. As where I bought it ,it was at Wizard World Philly last week. I bought it off of Joe Vereneault of JHV Associates,Overstreet Advisor. He's a Hell'uva nice guy ,honest ,easy to deal with ,a dealer with integrity!!!

Congrats again. I love the art in those issues.

 

....and that's definitely my old copy now that I see it again. I recognize the chips... enjoy it!
