Since you have complete runs of Farrell and Superior books, would you agree that the Superior covers are a little more wonky?  I've only seen a small amount of interior pages from Superior books.  Are they the same quality level as Farrell?

They are, in all seriousness, superior.

Most of them. I am missing some pre code JIM and ST. The last 3 Venus, Marvel Tales 95 and a few other lessor ones. I doubt I will ever really finish these off at this point. 

The only 3 Venus' I have are the last 3. Someone keeps trying to get my 19 off me. The only one missing from his run.

Personally, I prefer the Farrell line more. But the Superior line sure pegs the meter for quirkiness.

I have the sci fi ones but for some reason I just seemed to miss out on the last 3. Back in the day they were a bit uncommon. But time caught up as did the prices.

It's possible that the Iger Shop was getting paid better by Farrell and they used the best covers for those books and sold the rest to Superior. Or perhaps the currency exchange made the deal with Superior not as attractive. I have only seen a few Superior interiors, so I don't have an opinion on overall quality.
