Tribute To Creig Flessel 4 4

[swapto]

this is one of my all-time favorite covers, Flessel of course.

i love the situation Flessel has conjured up on this snowy mountaintop, the colors, the wolves, the gun ready to swing and the fact that he doesnt look scared, he's smiling...............

 

I LOVE FLESSEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice book, Peter. So much for my theory about lack of movement on Flessel covers!

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.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Sweet copy!

[RareHighGrade]

Thanks Adam and Jeff.

 

Swapto, I love your NA 23. That's a tough book to find.

[swapto]

Did I remember correctly that the #17 is not a pedigree copy? It sure is very beautiful.

[RareHighGrade]

You are correct tb. It's not a pedigree, but it sure looks like one.

One of my favorite Golden Age artists is Creig Flessel, who drew many of the covers of DC's earliest comics. We've seen postings from John Berk, CentaurMan and others of some of the Flessel covers, but there are many that have not been posted. Hence, I am starting this thread to pay homage to this Golden Age legend, and to see how many of these great covers can be shown by the collective body of forumites. I'll start things off with one of his classics:

 

Very nice.Some super covers for sure.Thanks for sharing.

I know I posted this just a couple of weeks ago in the NA thread, but here it is again. What I really feel stupid about is that I didn't get myself a high quality scan before I sent it in to CGC. Now I'm thinking I want to make a poster of this. If only someone with a 9.0 version could provide something.

 

[swapto]

RHG has the church copy of the #18

 

great book jay
