Boba Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wish we had a "drool" smiley. Those look great! Close enough? They are drool worthy (thumbs u Sometimes It makes me envious when I see raw books that you can actually touch. If I wasn't such a klutz with things, I'd probably collect raws - but I got to protect my books from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 3 different Showcase titles that all failed to achieve their own books: Cool! Those are the ones I most like to see because they're not as commonly shown.

Boba Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Oh man, those are sweet! I need 42, 43, 44 and 45 myself - they are so hard to find decent copies of raw or graded! You can find a zillion #60's, #73's & 75's - but try find a worthy one of these, good luck. Real nice there Hepcat, it's hard for me to tell - which one's the Mohawk Valley copy?

Phicks Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Regarding the Showcase #51 on the previous page (I Spy), the CGC notes say cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson. Hmmm.....looks a lot more like Gil Kane to me. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 All of the small group of writers, artists and inkers worked with each other on various books from Atom to Strange Adventures and I think they picked up some of each others tricks and habits.Earlier in the thread I posted the observation you see below about the cover of Showcase #51. If you looks at the Strange Adventures cover (Deadman origin) I referenced you'll see what I m talking about. I only had group shots of 1-50..... This Infantino cover reminds me of his Strange Adventures #205 Deadman origin cover - the same illusion of a frozen instant in time while someone is falling through space - is created.
