adamstrange Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've always liked red covers and I don't think that there's a redder pre-hero than this AAF8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've always liked red covers and I don't think that there's a redder pre-hero than this AAF8. True 'nuff. However, I'd enjoy seeing a side-by-side comparison with a similarly pristine Uncanny Tales #48. Buehler? Buehler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Best I can do is a River City. Not that it matters since UT48 is an Atlas issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 A great cover - the biggest Atlas monster of all time. Looks a bit like the Thing from FF#1, I always thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korvac Saga Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 A great cover - the biggest Atlas monster of all time. Looks a bit like the Thing from FF#1, I always thought. Except Sserpo could kick the Thing's azz!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Sserpo could kick the Thing's azz!!!!! .....same inker.....George Klein. He was tapped to be Curt Swan's Superman inker around this time and left Marvel. Weisinger the editor had the habit of throwing artists who freelanced for other companys out of a 14th floor window....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've always liked red covers and I don't think that there's a redder pre-hero than this AAF8. Two of my all-time favorite covers from one of my favorite runs. Just gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Sserpo could kick the Thing's azz!!!!! Funny thing that struck me when I saw the American version of GODZILLA (known as GINO - Godzilla In Name Only to Japanese monster movie purists) - the origin of GINO in the film shows him growing/mutating in size as he swims underwater - and its almost panel-for-panel the same way that Kirby depicts SSERPO growing & mutating. Maybe Jack should have got a screen credit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Kirby should probably get a screen credit for a ton of movies! Comics are blueprints for films, and NO one has influenced comics more than The King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Another post-code Atlas group shot. This time, it's the World of Fantasy/Mystery/Suspense runs, which includes one Bethlehem copy, eleven Circle 8 copies, seventeen Eastern Color File copies (still raw), and seven non-pedigreed copies. The WOF #17 and #18 are my own off-the-spinner-rack copies. If only I could turn back the clock ...... My personal favorites are WOF #11 (Everett), WOM #1 (Everett), and WOS #1 (Maneely): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.J Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Awesome books Jay, pity about the punch holes, just been posting about that in another thread. WOM #1 is such a great cover, my copy is very low grade and it nice to see a lovely copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
