Bronty Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 which reminds me.... what's worse than looking forward to a kirby or ditko cover feature and finding out the interior art on the lead story is by Reinman? not much luckily there are always other gems to make up for such occurrences.

Dick Pontoon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I like Reinman. Kirby, Ditko, Heck, Reinman: that's a pre-hero monster comic to me! He gets a bad rap, a la Don Heck, because his style is out of favor. His storytelling is solid in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Different strokes I guess. Personally I can barely get through the heck and reinman stories and for me its not so much about style as just the way the story reads as a result of the art. For my , I find Heck spent more time worrying about drawing the right skinny tie and right model glasses than on moving the story forward. I do like reinman better and I am probably being too harsh on him. Its really not a reflection of reinman's work being poor in my mind, but rather a reflection on how good kirby and ditko's work was.

adamstrange Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It was with these others that the original purchaser from Sotheby's was offering me. He had a second, non WM copy of the 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just stunning. I have always wanted a WM book for my collection, and getting a pre-hero WM would be a dream. Awesome pickup, I'm so envious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just stunning. I have always wanted a WM book for my collection, and getting a pre-hero WM would be a dream. Awesome pickup, I'm so envious! I was debating whether to keep that book just to own a WM when Dan PM'd me looking for some pre-hero Marvels. Just like Adamstrange said, it's a really fresh, sharp, bright copy. You'll love it. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
