Very cool book; lot's of fine detail work in that cover and a kick-a robot!

My vote goes to Tales of the Unexpected 23. IIRC, there's a real wacky Jack Kirby story about 2-D transportation that's fun.

"Hey that's a cool book" is an oft used phrase around these parts, often about books that are relatively obscure and/or scarce. "Cool" often seems to bypass grade and monetary value....

 

 

Hre's a recent acquisition from Mr Bedrock, which I'd say now becomes the coolest book I own:

 

 

..and why is it cool in my book - and I suspect many others as well? Well, it's very scarce for one thing - we all know that. Black cover, unique imagery for it's time, and powerfully expressive, like Expressionist Cinema.

 

So, what are the coolest books in your collection would you say, and what makes them cool?

 

I gotta admit. When I scrolled down to look at this cover I actually said 'Wow' out loud. That is a cool cover.

 

Ditto (thumbs u amazing cover.
