A little beat up G/VG, but really fun. I had three copies of that book but can't find any of them. Law Breakers has gruesome covers. Especially the severed tongue issue.

N e r V Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Pick up tonight from Clink. I seem to remember Marvel using that name later on someone.... Joe Maneely was only 28 when he drew this cover. It's because of covers like this I wonder what his work would have evolved into in just another 10 to 15 years. Comics lost someone very special in 1958.

What he would have achieved in the Silver and Bronze Ages? Maneely is forever among the precode greats and he did give us one of the greatest Atlas precode horror covers ever - Astonishing 30. My hope is that Maneely's family overcame this tragedy. john Edited April 29, 2017 by bronze johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comics lost someone very special in 1958. Nerv, saw this post earlier and wanted to respond. This is by far one of my favorite Maneely covers! He was such an exceptional artist. If you read the Wiki bio on him it is said that his pencils were basic and that he really rendered his final art in his inks. Really a unique way of working! Although this cover story has little to do with the soon to be famous Spider-Man, I believe this is is an under the radar book that will one day see it's day. I can only imagine "what if" Maneely was still around, would he have been chosen to draw Spider-Man instead of Ditko? What would a Joe Maneely Spider-Man have been? Ah, the mind can imagine! Here's my copy that I love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze johnny Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Also posted this in the Crime thread. Was out in San Francisco recently and saw Alcatraz. Thought it was cool to have an "Alcatraz Cover" that also happens to be a SOTI book. Also love the pure white cover. Cool book that I Wanted...
