My favorite AMF cover......

That comic, with its poster-like design and flat colors, looks even better in person. cloud9.gif

Okay, here's one for you. It's the Larson copy.

 

Ooooh, I like that. A lot.

 

(Beautiful Amazing man, by the way.)

 

Thanks - it has a few minor flaws (as can be seen along the left edge), but as the Church copy it may be the best around.

 

An important historical fact on A-Man was that he was the first superhero to debut in his own title. Wish I had the #5(1), but the right copy (restored would be OK) just hasn't come along.

 

STEVE Got Larson? (we know RHG does!)

That, Steve, is a mind-blowing copy of one of my three FAVORITE Centaur covers (the other two being AMF vol2/#5, and KEEN DET FUNNIES #20). I love it. That is so sharp, and the colors so intense... really incredible. Do you have any duds in your collection? You keep pulling books out that continually floor me.

 

Would you consider adopting a 36 year old child? yay.gif

I obtained the Church set of A-Man 6 thru 11 at the same time (long ago) in a three-way deal brokered by another collector (IIRC correctly, the books came to him via John Snyder).

 

I no longer own the 8 and 9, and subsequently sold off the 7 (note: it had several inches of red pen recoloring along the spine) when I obtained the Larson (and she's a beauty).

 

I'll try to post a few more pictures this weekend... if only to increase Ryan's torture level! (haha).

I'd like to see you come up with a FUNNY PAGES #35, or an A-MAN #22... THOSE would be true torture!!

 

bring it on!!! makepoint.gif

I'm convinced that Steve has a special setting on his camera that makes all his books look newstand fresh when he photographs them.

 

Got the camera at the "Twilight Zone" pawn shop! <cue catchy theme music>

Thanks Adam. I didn't even know it was the Larson copy until years later when the person who sold it to me mentioned it in passing.

 

893whatthe.gif That must have been a pleasant surprise!
