Good a time as any to show this (not that I need much of an excuse, given my avatar):

Sweet!!

 

I've always loved that cover, but the book itself is a little out of my reach...for now.

[shiverbones]

what an appealing looking character! If i ever had the money i would go after flessel sandmans 1st & Bailey Spectres 2nd. What a beauty!

Hmm, It's a great costume, but I would like to list some costumes that are equally as good, IMO.

 

Batman (pre tec 38)

Dr Fate (Full mask version)

Destroyer

Hangman

Power Nelson (Prize Comics #1-6)

Thunderer (Daring Mystery Comics #7 & 8)

Adventure #40, one of my most wanted grail books!

[nearmint]

That #46 is a beautiful copy. I've always loved that book. Let me know if you're ever interested in selling!

I'd agree with you on early Dr. Fate, Hangman, and Power Nelson (I totally forgot about him, good call). I don't know who Thunderer is, unfortunately.

 

I like the original Crimson Avenger costume as well, being in the Sandman pulp genre of suit+hat/mask. Very cool.

Here's one I may like even better than the cover to #40. The cover has slightly more of a pencil-edge roughness to it, and the setting seems more threatening. Look at the shadow that the Sandman casts on the bricks. Flessel understood cool.

I always thought this to be the first DC superhero grey-tone cover... thoughts?

It's a classic (grey tone or not)! Pretty Book! I want one!

I'd agree with you, West. On the Nedor side, I'd make the same comment about the Thrilling #11 that I posted over in the Schomburg thread the other day. I think it's the gray-tone feel to that cover that really attracted me to it. It looks different, more realistic somehow, than the other more "cartoony" Thrilling covers.

My opinion, the best golden age superhero costume was the WEB from Zip Comics #27-#38.

Centaurman, just let me know if you need someone to watch your house next time you're out of town.

If PedigreeMan and stagedoorjohnny are unavailable, you're next on the list! Gotta go in the order it was requested...

Here's my final early Sandman cover, from Adventure #51:

Requisite as Flessel Sandman covers are among my favorites of the GA.
