Scrooge Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 My lone VCC purchase arrived home today. Not only does it feature Toth's Crushed Gardenia but the second story, the cover feature, is also a great story. Really neat book - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Anyone ever come home to one of those orange notes from the P.O. and just can't believe you weren't there for the big delivery. Happened to me today. Tomorrow I'll post some scans from my Buckbiggins haul...can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnenock Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Well, I have to say that I am very disappointed with the batch of books I received from Buckbiggins today ,,,,disappointed I didn't buy more. It's like he borrowed a glossinator ran the books through once, wasn't satisfied so ran them through again and then recolored the covers by hand. Awesome gloss. Awesome books. Awesome forumite. A guy named EW Winter drew an impressive story in this one(pseudonym?) Another nice one Not too shabby either This one is ok, too. Seriously white pages and superior gloss. Thanks, Andrew!

Scrooge Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A guy named EW Winter drew an impressive story in this one(pseudonym?) Are you sure it's not Chuck Winter, instead? That's not a pseudonym. He did some work for Atlas but the bulk of his work was done earlier in the early to mid-forties. Update: I checked the Who's Who and there is also a Charles W. Winter, not Chuck (who is Charles A. Winter) but no record of him working for Atlas. No record on AtlasTales either for this comic but I know him from Battle # 30 for example and here are a couple more splash from the same time period. Is it the same guy's work?

For sure the same guy. And, on closer inspection the E is actually a C so the story "Beyond Death!" was drawn by C.A. Winter. Love his style. What issues are your panels from. Incredible splash pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The Alexander splash is as mentioned from Battle # 30 (Great Heath cover, btw), the Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble (super title) is from Adv. into Terror # 27 (Colan cover ) and The Assassin of Paris is from JiM #10.

Buck Biggins Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well, I have to say that I am very disappointed with the batch of books I received from Buckbiggins today,,,,disappointed I didn't buy more. It's like he borrowed a glossinator ran the books through once, wasn't satisfied so ran them through again and then recolored the covers by hand. Awesome gloss. Awesome books. Awesome forumite. Glad you like them and the glossinator is working to specs. My evil plan is working In all seriousness... The first 2 came from an original owner collection of about 200 books out of Penn.The collection was mostly horror and western from 1948-1954. All the books I bought had incredible gloss. Storage flaws mostly. Wish he had more I keep telling myself. The second batch I bought directly from the original owner. The owner bought these books while on vacation in upset New York as a boy. He read them once and gave them to his mom when finished. His mother then collected the books over the summer and packed them away. After his mother passed away he went to her storage facility. After sorting some stuff out he found a box filled with comics from his summer vacations as a boy. His mom apparently saved all the comics and brought them back home each summer. She stored them after all these years. So far he has found only 2 small boxes. The impression I get is that the storage facility is rather crammed and large. Since he lives 8 hours away he gets stuff only a couple times a year and can only fit so much in his car at one time. Comics are last on his priority list. He believes more books are to be found but doesn’t know when and how many. One thought that bothers me is that he mentioned a theft at the storage facility awhile back and he has yet to find any superhero books! He remembers reading Batman and Captain America as a kid because they were his favorite characters. Maybe somebody high jacked those in the theft but that is speculation. Only time will tell what this unfolds. Maybe one day I’ll get the call he found the motherload. I have bought several books from him and I’m happy the purchases. What is really cool about all of this…talking to the original owner of books from the 1950’s that have been untouched for 50+ years. Still hoping for the motherload call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
