I would guess an issue of Black Magic?

 

That's an excellent guess, but I believe the first comic to have both artists is Captain 3-D #1 from Harvey, 1953.

 

 

Google says its a dead heat! (both books have kirby covers so..)

Ah, the cover! When you said Black Magic I looked it up in Overstreet and it didn't note vol. 4, #3 as a Kirby book in the small type below. But seems to indicated it above with the prices.

 

According to the OSPG, Black Magic is actually before Captain 3-D, so I think you've changed my mind. (Btw, when I posed this question on the boards a few years ago, Beerbohm got it right, I thought, saying Captain 3-D.)

 

Cool to know, thanks.

Looks like the same seller has both a TTA #1 4.5 and a TOS #1 5.5 on ebay now.

He has a $500 starting bid on both which is about FMV on the TTA and below for the TOS.

 

Both would be nice upgrades for me, but I am currently sorely lacking the funds. :cry:

First off, I want to say a sincere thanks to all the contributors in this thread. I've been lurking & learning since Page 1...

 

I wanted to share my Edenwald twins that made the World of Fantasy "official pre-hero list".

 

Question: Is WOF#18 the "prototype" for the typeface-enhanced_syllable-challenged_prehero-monster_cover-names? TOS8, TTA8, JIM54 & ST73 seem to be the next victims of this ailment.

Picked up a nice TTA 25 from the last CLink auction.

 

We have a regional grocery chain called Kroger. The creature must be reminding me to pick up a TV dinner on the way home.
