crimson dynamo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I was told the Yorba Linda Con was mostly anime , but obviously this would have been a better oppertunity than San Diego to catch some awesome pre hero Marvels. I would have also had a shorter drive. I am definatley going next year. Awesome books on the latter part of this thread, especially Atlas Fans.

Thank you gentlemen!! I cannot lie, I'm mighty pleased with this fine, four colored funnybook Believe it or not, this was from a raw ebay purchase! I knew the seller, so I had confidence that his story about the book being previously graded + cracked out, was true. Book came back the exact same grade + even got a PQ bump up from CR-OW to OW!!

AtlasFan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thats a great cover! I wish Big John had done more pre-hero work. If you ever get the chance, check out JB's work on Dell's movie adaption of SPARTACUS (from the same time period)..super work! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korvac Saga Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks guys! 10 to go for TOS + 9 to go for TTA. And yes Tom, 7.5 to 9.0 is the range. I'll take the occasional 9.2 if it doesn't bankrupt me! And I'm having more fun collecting these books than the hero stuff these days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know KS was motivated to own it, and recalled with this thread your love/interest for this book... it didn't work out for you...I'll certainly pass any leads if I find any on this book to you in the future... Good luck with your continued search! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It's OK ,buddy. The one I just got from Metro (yesterday ) is real decent. It'll do for now. I'll post a scan this weekend. I WAS going to bid on the 8.5 ,but when I saw it sitting at $ 500 with 4 days to go I knew it would probably top a grand so I stayed out of it. There's somebody ELSE out there who bid it up. It's tough in high grade....wouldn't have surprsed me to see it hit 1300. It's one of my favorites and one of the very few with an 18 page Kirby story. I seem to recall Zzutac being another 18 pager.
