shiverbones Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 great Dover boys book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) The Dover Boys book is published by Archie and it's in the Gerber. Never noticed the cover to number 2 and assumed it was a one shot or something. Kinda had a "horror/Mystery" look to it so I put it on the want list. Thanks Guys.

johnenock Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 OK here's what I found out on the Dover Boys: Listed in the Gerber as issue 1 Issue 2 is listed in Gerber as a 5 but is not pictured(probably why it's not on my want list) Listed in OSPG as a 2 issue series with number 2 having no month but still coming out in 1950. Number 1 has the month September on it. That's all I have. Anyone have Issue number 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'd be curious to know as well since it's not pictured in the GCD either. Is this one of those phantom books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 My last pre-code fling of '07... First a recent VCC pick-up, although the shrunken head is killer it has always been that shocked expression of that bald guy that makes me love this cover! Next is a book that I've been after for a while now and am happy to end 2007 with a decent copy in my possession. This next book just looks great in hand! Awesome full body shot of Frankenstein in those deep, rich blue clothes really makes this cover pop! And lastly this great cover by Lou Cameron!

johnenock Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Great books, Jayman. I especially like the JIM 16. Reminds me of this one. Hey, what's going on with the same issue but different covers? And, I love the horror issue covers to those Franks. Way to end the year with a bang!

Jayman Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That's the rare "whole vampire" variant cover! I was waiting to see if anyone noticed, just keeping you on your toes! I always wondered what that cover would look like with the vampire fully transformed so I did a wee bit of photoshopping on it. Here's the true book...

Jayman Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The Frankenstein turned out to be my fav of the bunch too! This is my first Franky and the second horror issue I believe. The full body taking up the cover looks terrific imho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full body taking up the cover looks terrific imho! I believe you're right about it being the second horror (cover) issue. You might have seen this in the Golden Age Collection thread.

Jayman Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yes I saw it, great book and sweet splash (is the girl supposed to be the statue?) I have yet to go through my #19 and see if there are any great post worthy splash pages. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I didn't, but should have spotted this right off the bat. Great job, Jayman! (thumbs u I like all of the books you bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full body taking up the cover looks terrific imho! Franky's are very cool. They are larger sized issues and all are very appealing in a way that's hard to describe to someone who is just looking at a scan.

shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 a couple books in today, and hopefully I'll scan a couple more later tonight. Woo-Hoo! Such a great cover, so glad to finally have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) And a personal favorite of mine, since I first saw it in an overstreet when I was in 6th grade or so. I have had a couple copies over the years, but this one has the most intense color I have seen on one.
