Centaur Comics 19 19

[Robot Man]

This was my first Centaur from back in the mid 1970's. I bought it from a guy that literally found it sitting on the top of a lidless trash can in an alley. I had no idea who Amazing Man was and obviously neither did the guy that sold it to me. I asked him if he got any more and he told me he didn't bother to check...

 I have been very fortunate to obtain some pre Centaur art pages (technically Ultem.) from comics that would later become Centaur Comics. This seems like the place to post them.

Star Comics #1 cover dated Feb 1937 

Artist: Fred Schwab  Story feature: Riggin' Bill 

Also a pic of how it appeared in the comic.

Thanks so much RM!!! The only backstory I know is that these pages came from Jim Steranko's personal collection. I wouldn't think many exist from this era.

I have a few pages. Seen quite a few over the years actually, but they don’t get much attention or love

Do you miss your Centaur collection? Or has OA suitably scratched the itch?

I definitely miss. But OA has been a nice consolation
