Agreed. I love the way they broke out the "Mr Mystery" font for "revenge".

 

I get you on the font, but what's the story on the "revenge"?

 

I mean it's the only word on the page with that font. I think it's the only word that isn't hand lettered. Doesn't it seem strange? It's like it was an homage or something.

Sharp book Adam!

 

I'm going to try and take better pics of my Cole books. Most came out too dark.

So I get this in today and right away I am pisssed off because the colors looked a LOT brighter in the scan from jscomics, and I know damn well they did it on purpose. But I figure the book is nice structurally, so I will keep it. I pop the slab and open the book. What do I find? A quarter sized water stain on the inside front cover. Not sure if CGC missed it (the book got an 8.0), or how it got there, but I am NOT happy.

Call for the notes.

 

Bummer. I had a copy of that book years ago, but for some reason didn't like it too much. Sold it.....

Man, I hate that.

 

You know, I've recently read a thread on this board tellin so-n-so to jack up the contrast when scanning, it'll bring out the colors. Makes me wonder what some of these books really look like..??

 

All said; it's a nice book.....I'd like to own it.

 

BTW....I clocked this one last week.

Awesome. I like Cole's western covers, but bright colors like on your copy are a must for those issues...

Yeah, that one is mine. I will keep you in mind if I decide to sell it....and that's a very real possibility.

Sounds cool to me. Enjoy it!

I'm sure this has been posted here before but this is my first foray into Cole covers so here we go. I think I'm hooked now.
