Thanks for feedback. It's the kind of book that I felt was almost out of reach for me I was desperate to get one. The Dell'Otto prints all came from Europe . Most are signed and there are very htf early pieces there. He drew a Spiderman ( modern ) version I felt was kick so I collected him exclusively . Here are few more;

 

 

These are some awesome images by Dell'otto.

You should share them here as well:

The spine splits with the stain are the killers.  Still, it’s a great looking book.  

Those and the cover tears and the partially detached cover.

Truly phenomenal collection there Subby1938!

Thanks everyone. I focused on comics first , then statues and finally artwork. So much choice and decision making. I haven't even displayed my statues yet I believe both the comics and statues will compliment what I've tried to do.

Read the history behind why there’s a ind. mark on the top of some silver age marvels.  Never thought much about until I ended with an af15 that had the mark.  Most of my af15s i’ve Owned don’t have it

I'm fairly sure all AF15s have the ind mark.  It's just that it gets lost in the dark brown.  They should have made it a light color if they wanted it to show up.

I don't know the story of the ind mark... care to share a link?

One of my af15 has a lighter brown so I can see it the ind. mark clearly.  Can’t tell from the other copies I have due to dark brown

Interesting story.

By shining a mag light on an AF15's upper left corner, you can clearly see the IND. mark.

Sadly I don't think much has changed, at least insofar as human nature goes.  The only real variable is the power dynamic, which can keep the worst behavior in check to the extent that it's more balanced between creators and management.  This is true whether we're talking about comic book publishing, movie making, high tech, or any other industry.
