This would work on a red, green or yellow t-shirt.

[pmpknface]

Very true BB. That one with the border on the left border though (unless maybe green) provides a big border. The reasons I have so far picked MASK 1 and CAP AERO 26, other than the fact that they rock, is because the major background colors bleed into the shirt color. Also why ST 11, CAP FLIGHT 11, and CONTACT 12 would look good on red & black - respectively.

 

Dayum... that BB is a killer cover tho... I'm considering it in the next round...

 

Maybe this on a yellow T?

Mask 1 and Contact 12 would be my vote for a t-shirt screening love those two covers and put them on black,makes them pop.

Man, that's a nice looking 3.0 Mask #2. Well done sir!

[damonwad]

Thanks, guys. I agree the Mask #2 looks great for a 3.0.

I was lucky I happened to be on the computer when it came up for sale.

Just snagged 2 more! 1 comic and 1 pulp!

 

First up, this gem. Love the colors:

 

 

 

Next up, this one that was in excellent shape. This dress is being held up by sheer will:

It is the job of the guy behind her to hold it up.

 

Nice books

Thanks. I want to track down more of his pulps. I think this will make 5 that I'll own, but I have a line on a few more that I'll get to eventually. Many are older than his comic cover work too!

Time for a brief palate cleanser between all the fantastic horror, scifi, war, etc? Those black covers are always a challenge, and the romance westerns are particularly elusive in grade.

 

 

 

 

 

[pmpknface]

Great copies! Yeah, that Target Western has eluded me so far. Well done!

[comicjack]

Never seen one of those Target Westerns very nice.

[adamstrange]

Very nice cover by Cole

This is the seller's scan, but I couldn't wait to post it as it doesn't pop up that often.

In romance comics, you see many versions of that cover theme: Woman distraught thinking about her philandering boy friend. But Cole works some magic with it.

 

Great pickup.

[Sqeggs]

Actually, after reading the caption, the theme is a bit different than the conventional one. Still a great cover, though!
