Red Hook Thanks, Red I especially enjoyed reading the speculations of how the pre-hero monsters could possibly tie into later superhero continuity. Fun Stuff.

mica Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Sorry for the condition, but It's good reading. I have heard of sellers referring to this book as a pre-cursor to the radio active spider that bit Spider-Man but I feel that that's a stretch. And using that to "Talk Up" a book is unnecessary. If you don't want to see a giant spider threaten our civilization then mentioning Spider-Man isn't going to convince you either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Don't know if anyone followed the Heritage Auction. The splash page to the GRUTO story went for $5K. Does that seem ridiculously low for a Kirby/Ayers splash page?? I'll have to check to see if it met reserve. I woulda bid on it if I didn't have money tied up elsewhere. I mean, it's GRUTO!!

adamstrange Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) Nice book! Welcome to the boards, Atlas. Cool avatar, by the way. That's from one of my favorite Bill Everett stories in Adventures into Weird Worlds 10. Edited May 30, 2005 by adamstrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasT Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thanks for the warm welcome, Adam. I've been admiring your books for a while, and hope I can show you some that will be almost as impressive. Here's one of my all-time favorite covers, providing, as it does, a nice example of Ditko at his unrushed finest. By the way, your quick I.D. lf my avatar also impresses me. Now, can you tell me what book the li'l devil is reading (one of the reasons this is one of my favortite Everett stories)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, can you tell me what book the li'l devil is reading (one of the reasons this is one of my favortite Everett stories)? Dante's Inferno is my guess without looking at my copy. Weren't they also readying comic books? I recognized the artist quickly and I know the story but must sadly blame age and senility for forgetting some of the details. (The scan was done several years back.) Rro is a very cool Ditko book! Edited May 30, 2005 by adamstrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasT Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 This is not the highest-grade copy of this book that I've ever seen, but it displays the brightest colors. What a magnificent Everett covert! If this doesn't belong in this thread because it's an Atlas, I will cease and desist posting such covers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 AWESOME book! I'll certainly forgive any cool Everett cover you'd like to post, but there is a thread for pre-code horror in the GA Forum where it might fit in a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
