I might be able to do something like that given some time and full size copies to compare (photo journal pics are too small to see enough detail). I mean, aren't we talking about 167 books, many of which are monster covers? Edited June 8, 2021 by Frisco Larson bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my issue - I'd have to lay them out on the floor and determine the top 10. That sounds like real work and I'd have to lock up the cat. -bc Frisco Larson, Crazy Canuck, Jasonmorris1000000 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTA 11 7. JIM 66 8. TOS 10 9. ST 89 10.

I figured large variations would be more likely than similar lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Alright, had a chance to look thru the Vault and come up with some Monster favorites (in no particular order): AA/AAF: 6, 9, 13 JIM: 63, 72 ST: 79, 80, 89 Strange Worlds: 3 TOS: 8, 10, 26, 29 TTA: 10, 23, 29 World of Fantasy: 18 If we are going to include the pure sci-fi/fantasy issues, I'd have to change this. Notice there are a few common books in our lists, but otherwise pretty diverse Thanks for the homework! -bc Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I looked briefly thru my files of the books I own and have had SOME luck narrowing it down. The best I could do is determine SOME that would be in my top ten of the books I own. See below. There are some great covers that I don't have copies of.
