trmoore54 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 wow somehow I'd never seen that JIM 52 cover before. what a beauty! Glad to share them (well, the images, anyway)! Here is one of my favorite early JIMs...A very rare Heath pre-hero robot cover! This issue has Wally Wood art to boot. Another big favorite of mine!! I sold a really nice copy of this several years ago... Love that cover/issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 That #55 is a nice copy! Here are a couple more from the same era... Another great robot cover. Jack must have been watching a re-run of KING KONG when he did this one. Nice brown background with a thinly disguised alien standing in for Kong!

DR.X Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Heres one i just thought Id post. A little different from the monster covers. DRX Very cool, first time seeing this one! Thanks, this was another book that I bought at a local con for about $15.00, at least twenty-five years ago. I think the colors on this book are really nice, especially the blue despite the corner creases. Glad you like it.

jimjum12 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 All of those first several JIM pre heros don't get seen often. The first several issues of Strange Tales with Kirby/Ditko are also scarce and WAY cool. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
