In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

[AtlasFan]

 

Wonderful Kirby Jules Verne cover!

 

Both of those covers are much different than what Kirby and Ditko normally drew. Artistically, I really like and prefer the Kirby.

 

Hmmm. The more I look at this cover, I believe that its a partial wash-tone - to simulate the underwater effect.

[shiverbones]

I think it's zip-a-tone doing that effect instead of a wash

[Jeffro.]

Love those Johnny Thunder covers...

 

Here is some more Toth Atom Age goodness:

 

 

There's something about DC westerns that really appeal to me and I'm NOT a western comic collector. Maybe I just love 50s DCs.

3 more pre code Satire books arrived today. I am really enjoying this genre, each issue is a blast.

Great Everett story inside

 

[shiverbones]

The Obscure sister title to "Madhouse", which itself is pretty obscure.

I need to add that to my want list

[shiverbones]

I have never seen any of the other issues for sale, I think there are 3.

[BangZoom]

 

"Whacks Museum."

 

Does the comic have stories inside that relate to the cover illustration?

 

Seeing all those satire comic covers is getting me interested in restarting my Mad Magazine collection.

[shiverbones]

Yes, that is the Everett story. Hitler & Stalin appear, all sorts of wax museum goodness. I'll try to scan the story in the Everett thread that just started, but I won't get to it right away.

[shiverbones]

Also, the Heath story in that issue is completely flapping mad. It's a real winner of an issue!

[selegue]

While we're looking at Mad imitators, I just won this one but don't have it in hand yet.

 

Riot 3, 8/54.

Maneely cover! Atlas Tales tells me to expect [DeCarlo] /[Lapick] Post [Hartley] inside.

Great pick up! I gotta get one of those!

[Scrooge]

Did it just end on eBay? If so, it went quickly higher than I wanted to bid so I didn't push it. In any case, it's a lovely copy of a lovely book! (thumbs u

More Charlton zaniness. Ever heard of the book she's reading

[shiverbones]

Awesome! And to think i didn't bid on that copy last week!

Another "finity" cover as mardibones called it.

Was it common for infinity covers to end after just 2 cycles? I suppose it was tough to draw anything recognizable that small.

On the original art to my infinity cover they used a photocopy device of some sort to create a reduced image, then inked in the next two levels.
