shiverbones Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Maybe because of the color, but more for the simplicity of the design, this is one of my favorite Silver DC covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I love the Win Mortimer covers from this time period. He made excellent use of architecture creating some very interesting compositions. The stories are darn good, especially the Sprang time travel story that would have matched the cover. Maybe because of the color, but more for the simplicity of the design, this is one of my favorite Silver DC covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 yeah the time travel story by sprang is jaw dropping. Easily one of the very best artists at DC at the time, but you only really see it in backgrounds & composition because he was hampered by the "House style" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily one of the very best artists at DC at the time, but you only really see it in backgrounds & composition because he was hampered by the "House style" At SD Con I saw the OA to an entire story that had been penciled and inked by Sprang (it was a Batman 3 Musketeers story where he travels back in time -- not from World's Finest as it didn't involve Superman). Sprang had kept it because he had been particularly proud of his work on it -- as he had every right to be. It was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 For some reason I don't see this particular issue of Detective Comics very often. It looks better in hand as the colors are much more vivid and sharper. I guess I gotta to play around with the color scheme on photobucket. Oh yeah, I love that World's Finest time travel story as well. I have a copy but not quite as nice. I've always enjoyed reading that story.

shiverbones Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I am not exactly sure why this book always costs so much, it's not that big a key. I really love the cover so I am happy to have an attractive mid grade one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john72tex Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well, it is a major Batman villain and is difficult to find in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I guess he became bigger later on, but only had a handful of 60's & 70's appearances. The movie & Batman Animated probably had a lot to do with his popularity. I think it's a cool book, it's just crazy expensive. Even totally shattered copies sell for over $50.

Been looking for awhile, but when one appears on C-link, I always am outbid. Just can't afford even a nice CGC 6.5-7.5. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 That's a beautiful book, Richard. Sharp and vivid colors, especially the DC greens. If you ever want to sell it, LMK. I love the title! SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
