Popular Post Point Five Posted February 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 As a New Yorker who waits on delayed trains every day, it's comforting to see the service wasn't any better in 1954. pmpknface, porcupine48, Jayman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRock Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You guys been posting up some great stuff up lately. And to keep the thread going, one of my favorites. Been having it awhile now. I remember at first glance, damn that guys taking a slug point blank to the dome, but look a little closer and notice the background with the mirror......granted the guy has an NBA player wingspan...great underrated cover, well to me at least Jayman, pmpknface, Point Five and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been discussed before about the arm, myself included that I originally thought it was another person shooting him. The angle seems just a bit off and the darker sleeve makes it look like a different hand. But you are correct, the mirror tells the true story.

Was 12 or 13 at the time and got it with a half a dozen other GA books at a swap meet. Really made an impression on me! porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I remember about 40 years ago when Avons were the hottest books on the planet. And, this one was pretty much top of the heap. I remember having to pay through the nose at $20. for it. A few years later, just before his death, I had the distinct pleasure of having Wally Wood sign it for me. Still love it! Doesn't seem to get the love it once did...

I too recall when the Avon one-shots took off, and how sad it was thinking I'd never get nice copies of all of them. Over the years, I found low grade copies of a few of the amazing sci-fi covers, but to this day, several elude me. I think the run is truly under-rated: think of the complete set of one-shots and all the great genres represented (beside super-heroes). It's a pretty stunning cross-section of horror, mystery, crime, western (think Chief Victorio's Apache Massacre!), adventure, romance - even a humor book or two IIRC. jimjum12 and porcupine48 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
