Technical stuff:

1) :takeit: posted in the thread trumps all. That being said, if someone wishes to be discreet :takeit: via PM works, too. If a conflict arises, the time stamp will determine the winner

2) No HoS, probies, shills of probies, etc

3) I reserve the right to not sell to anyone for any reason

4) Shipping is $10 for insured Priority shipping in the ConUS (rates will be at cost for foreign addresses) for the slab

5) Payment via Paypal is preferred, but check or MO is acceptable

6) Any reasonable offers will be listened to :)

Such a cool book - I have a VF copy I bought years ago. This really should be gone by now. 9.0 pre-code crime with a classic Ditko cover for $400 - seems like a solid value to me!

Nice book for a reasonable price IMO.

 

Sort of off topic: This cover has long interested me, regarding "how do you show an explosion?"

 

When I first saw this cover, I though it showed that someone had thrown a firecracker or cherry bomb into the store. But then you see their clothing, evidently blown off by the force of the -- seemingly tiny -- explosion.

 

So I guess we're seeing just the beginning of the explosion? A few microseconds after the kaboom?

I think your assessment is right on. It would seem to me that if Ditko decided to be any more gratuitous with the explosive blast, it would drown out/overpower the graphicness he wanted to depict
