Thx Rick. I have to say I like the noticeable difference between the purple at the top and the blue mid book. I'd always thought it was just a gradation of darker to lighter blue, but in fact its two separate color gradations, which I never noticed before seeing the nice colors on this one.

 

If you look at my other copy on the first post of this thread, well, its a really nice copy but color wise it just looks like darker to lighter blue. On this copy you can see that its actually purple to blue.

A club so inviting that I had to join it twice. :cloud9:

That's a beauty, Bronty! I agree with your earlier statement. I was always drawn to the blend of the blue and purple blending. It's a very striking cover and by far the best pre-hero cover.

This actually depends on how much the magenta ink (or any other ink) is possibly "charged" a bit too much while printing a run (it may change several times, each time inks are re-filled or so).

 

That is particularly problematic with browns, which are composed from all process colours. I am noticing it with my Fantastic Four #65, which I still prefer over a CGC I picked because the colors look "colder". :)

 

P.S. The picture is very large, so now this VF 8.0 is your "keeper"? :D

It's just the way the pic turned out, sorry if its too big.

 

I guess I don't know which one is my keeper or if I will keep both. I go back and forth on that. I want to keep both but I had some surprise large purchases I couldn't pass up :juggle:

Man all of these nice copies makes my 2.0 look like fiddy

 

I just wanted a copy 1.8 or above so I am happy since these just don't ever show up on feebay anymore, maybe a few copies a year.

When I have a moment. I'll have to take a group shot of my 5 copies.

Yes, I'm preparing for the end of the world :ohnoez:

I have my canned goods, radiation suit (well, really it's just some tin foil I took from comic convention attendee's heads ) and my copies of Strange Tales #89

 

In the meantime, can anyone update the thread with some pictures of their Strange Tales #89?
