cheetah Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 My only reluctance is that this is the only thread I post in where anyone actually responds! Where would I post if I gave them all away! I'd definitely give you guys first chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely give you guys first chance. I think if you did part with books like those, you'd probably regret it. I know for sure that I would. Books like that in those grades just dont pop up to often. I think this is one my favorite threads. Its making me want to go read my Masterworks Astonish, and Suspense. I just never get enough of those short pre-hero stories. DRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Jack + Stan later branch out into those longer stories, they take on an epic quality. A joy to behold!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Those 3 to 5 page stories are so complete + satisfying. And when Jack + Stan later branch out into those longer stories, they take on an epic quality. A joy to behold!! Thats all it took to make those a great read. Every panel had a distinct part of the story, wether it was the art the character lines. It was just enough to keep you totally focused for a few pages. And all those monster hands and arms Kirby drew, always looked like were reaching out of the pages.Ahhhhh the good old days, when a comic was worth plopping down a dime or twelve cents of lawn cutting dough.

adamstrange Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 KC frickin outstanding books as always. How about a master list of what you need to complete the TTA's because you seem to add 3 a week, we can all have fun counting them down. I love that #63, was eye balling the White Mountain copy coming up in the next C-Link auction. Thanks SS!! I know it seems like 3 a week, but I still have about half the TTA preheros to go. When I get close, you'll know Yes, that WM JIM #63 is nice, but AS's copy is just stunning!! Haven't seen that one in person yet......... I haven't even scanned all my pre-heros.

I love that #63, was eye balling the White Mountain copy coming up in the next C-Link auction. Interesting. I was not aware of a duplicate on that issue. Tales From the Black Lagoon came out in 1954 ( the year I was born, albeit on the last day...)...this book came out in December 1960...to me the minute I first saw this cover I felt was Kirby's homage to the movie and the creature...

trmoore54 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 trmoore54 Reminds me of a live performance of Jeffrey Lee Pierce (R.I.P.) of the Gun Club when he said in between songs..."talkin' 'bout Religion!" _________________________ You're not an ex Punk rocker surely....... I used to appreciate 'X' and the Blasters for what its worth. Alan I'm going to see X and Maria McKee at the Orange County Fair in a couple of weeks...I'm not an X-anything...I'm an engager of all things artistic and music is certainly one of my varied interests...there's a strong connection between the Blasters, Dave Alvin and John Doe...I'm a real fan of real music...

trmoore54 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I've been giving some thought to getting all my ToS and TTA slabbed and then selling them. Oh yeah...put me on your cheetah-List... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRX It is a direct valid comparison I believe, in terms of literature, of the short story vs the novel...and I'm a big believer in both...love the short story when it's nailed (as most of these definitely were) and love the novel...when I have a little more time...
