Point Five Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Wow, gorgeous copy! Congrats, Jayman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Excellent Great looking copy and splendid scan. I had never noticed the text on the left side on the yellow background. Great detail. (That shark reminds me of Hergé's shark btw.) A cool way to celebrate. Thanks, I added some panels since your reply. The text on the cover is the same as in the yellow block in the title page for Swamp Spirit. Funny enough my neighbor turned me on to Hergé as she used to read her son bedtime stories of Tintin. Very cool stuff also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nice copy! Those colors really pop off that black cover! Yeah! I can't believe how rich they are. Its a real pleasure to look at. Kirby and Simon didn't do the that story though, and it doesn't quite live up to the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Couldn't leave the Tampa Con today w/o a purchase. I had not seen this one before and I really dig all the elements: the tophat on the skull, the snake-eyes on the die, the devil. Can someone tell me the artist?

Norrin_Radd Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I saw one of those yesterday at the Windy City Pulp con. John Hauser had a bunch of 50's comics that I looked through. Alas, nothing that I really wanted that was in decent shape. Although he did have a cool copy of Black Cat Mystery #33 (electrocution cover), it was a little too expensive. So all I ended up with was a poor copy of Rangers #26 from another dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not seen this one before and I really dig all the elements: the tophat on the skull, the snake-eyes on the die, the devil. Can someone tell me the artist? Ajax-Farrel art was produced by the Iger shop and that artists adopted a house style similar to Robert Webb and pre-EC Jack Kamen. It's hard to say who did what as often multiple hands were involved. I'm not sure if even the expert indexers are always confident of their attribution of artists for this publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
