Here is a book you don't see everyday.

Good freakin' freemin' jumpin' jehoshephat!!

 

I snorted milk through my nose and wet myself!

 

I hope you weren't holding a comic.

You guys should start collecting baseball cards. They're easier to squeeze in the safe and I'd have a chance at some of these goodies.

Although a bit cartoonish, I have always loved the colours on this book.

This is the final book I picked up last weekend. Nothing special per se but it is new to me, and it's also a solid copy even with the vertical fold (very nice pages too, of course). I kinda like the Phantom Rider cover...

 

[sacentaur]

....with more Carl Burgos (this time in color) and some Tarpe Mills (check out the last panel - ooh La La!):

I am now turned on to STAR COMICS... most of the covers in the run don't do much for me, but the interiors are a hot damn!! Some really stellar artists in the line up.

[Scrooge]

....with more Carl Burgos (this time in color) ...

 

I mis-spoke, it wasn't Burgos I remembered seeing, it was a surprisingly well accomplished Henkel on Gallant Knight in Feature Funnies. I am more accustomed to later and less polished / more stiff Henkel hence my double take when I saw this page -

Might be a Prince Valiant swipe or two on that page.

Between you and Win gobbling them all up, I have given up hope of ever completing a Centaur run!

 

You guys are amazing!

Let me guess, it came from you?

I don't recall seeing pages that white on new comics when I was a kid.

[sacentaur]

Let me guess, it came from you?

 

No, not from Metro - this book was included in the trade I did with a buddy last weekend (same time I got the 'Tec 31).

 

But Stephen is correct - this is one tough book (I didn't realize until I looked in Gerber that this is the only Phantom Rider cover).

I stand corrected.

 

Do you have the Mile High copy?

[CentaurMan]

Star Comics generally have some of the worst covers of any Centaur run (unless you like vaguely humorous cartoon), but this Phantom Rider issue is an exception. Here's my copy:

 

 

Also, the earliest Star Comics are generally scarcer than other Centaur or pre-Centaur runs from the same time period. I've got only 1 more Amazing-Man, 1 more Keen Detective Funnies, and 1 more Funny Picture Stories left to close out each of those long runs, but I'm missing like 10 Star Comics.
