Peter,

 

As you know, that is not just one of my favorites, that is my absolute favorite cover of all time, from any genre! What a sweet copy. Pedigree?

I don't know if there is debate whether Flessel did this cover or not. Gerber says it was Bernard Bailey, but everywhere else says Flessel. Personally, it looks like Creig's handy work to me.

He did a recreation of that cover which was on eBay recently.

I was trying to be extra nice to set an example for the people posting in the General Forum. I took a peek over there and my computer screen caught fire from the heat in the Manufactured Gold thread.

I refuse to get ensnared in that mess of a thread.

Flessel all the way! What a gorgeous copy!

The thing that I really admire about Flessel's work is that it is so consistently good. Even to this day, he does a bang up job on commission. One can't help but appreciate the proclivity of this treasure among comic artists.

When you're looking a killer copy of an insanely cool and scarce book, fantastically awesome is not hyperbole. Your mileage may vary but I would kill just to see that copy.

Nonetheless I am still going to poke fun at you.

I get the sense that these still living, brilliant comic book artist are not totaly aware of how significant the work they did is. Do they know that a bunch of us are constantly geeking out over their art? Detective 18 is moving in to my top ten!

I don't know about any other artists, but Creig sure does. I showed him the whole tribute thread and even read some of the commentary aloud.

Can't let Schomburg get all the love. Here's a Flessel New Adventure. This was when he was still in his Norman Rockwell phase.
