Thanks Redhook.

His artwork that I've seen just has a real real "classic" feel to it.

Thanks to fellow board member Nochips (Stuart) I just completed a real nice run in my Superboy collection, 92-258 complete. Thats like a 17 year run of the title. I am still working on earlier issues, but that 117 in nice shape was the last piece of my puzzle.

 

Next on my hit list is Superman 165 to complete my Superman 129-200 run. Not as long as the Superboy, but nice anyways.

 

Thanks Stuart!

 

Glad I could help.

 

Remember: "I don't do it for the money, I do it for the glory"

 

You can quote me that that!

That is very impressive to me, more impressive than my Superboy accomplishment as the Wonder Woman's are far scarcer. Way to go!

Congrats on the run silver.

for all you SA DC fans of superman - check out my pretty books of the day post. i think you'll love them.............

I just bought Superman 164 and 167....makes me want to get more silverage supermans.

 

Superman's in the 160's are just so cool ... must r e s i s t urge to start scanning covers ....

 

R e s i s t a n c e is futile...must....post...cool...covers!!

[Zonker]

In my opinion, the 160's represent the best Swan covers of any 10 issue run. Without posting each cover, here's why:

 

161 - Classic cover depicting the blurb "Last days of Ma and Pa Kent!"

162 - Superman Red / Superman Blue imanginery story

164 - Classic (there's that word again) cover depicting Luthor hitting Superman under a red sun, part 1 of "Showdown Between Luthor and Superman"

166 - Great Christmas cover, imaginary story "The Sons of Superman"

167 - Classic Luthor/Brainiac cover

169 - Very cool "Bizarro Invasion of Earth" cover

 

It's pretty tough to beat these ten issues in the silverage Superman era for classic covers and great stories. The 140's come close

 

We think alike! I'd stopped following this thread, but burntboy's cover thread sparked a similar reaction from me! (I also like the Supes Lion-Head cover, was it #165?)

[UnrulyAppendage]

I think some of the best work Curt Swan did was his covers and art for the last SA Superman story written by Alan Moore. If anybody wants to see great Superman art, it's these two issues. Just look at the inkers!!

I've been collecting Superboy comics for a few months now, and picked up some real gems from Stuart. His grading is "right on", and he's great to deal with.

 

I've really enjoyed collecting these books, but still have a long way to go. Congratulations, Silver!! That's quite an accomplishment.

 

Here's a few cool SB books, compliments of "nochips" and Harley Yee.

Not Curt Swan, but still a pretty good artist...

 

 

 

[RickHigh]

One thing I have noticed in collecting these SB books. He sure does cry alot.

that's the first time i ever saw Krypto in a Costume!!! (other than his cape).

 

was this the PC thing to do, rather than have naked animals flying around on covers or just an attempt at image upgrade??

They are in space.

Maybe he needed the suit?

[Red Hook]

In that position you would have had a clear shot of his doggy scrotum. So they had to do SOMETHING!

 

I'll bet the inker added the suit. I'd love to see the "raw" penciled version!

[RickHigh]

In the 50th century, ALL the dogs wear clothes.

hey man, this is KRYPTO we're talking about here. pretty much had all of Superman's powers. i think Red may have hit the nail on the head, but suspect some DC fans (the fine, the brave, the few.......) would know for sure......

[Red Hook]

Should I do for Krypto what I did for Batman?
