lotemo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 It's a shame that the artists on these 1940s Marvel covers didn't get any recognition. Covers like this should be comic book classics, kind of like Vargas pinup calendars, even if this joke does borrow just a little bit from our redheaded friend in Riverdale.

Ah, Yes, they are comic book classics that many of us cherish. Right now they are still very reasonable, but as more people become aware and compare them to other GGA type genres, these will start showing up on many wantlists.

lotemo Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Here are some of my recent additions. All of these copies are very crisp and clean with white paper. They don't seem at all like they are nearly 60 years old. I was not originally a fan of these painted Marvel covers but they grow on you. They are very attractive and there are only a handful for Patsy Walker and also Cindy comics. This issue of Tessie is from Mile High. It was graded as Fine but actually appears VF or better. Super white paper and appears as if it was never handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew pretty fast on me I didn't even know they did any painted cover in that time, much less one so Rockwell-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Very Rockwell indeed. I think that the romance comics were popular at this time so Patsy Walker and Cindy comics were made to look like romance magazines. There are several Junior Miss issues that have some beautiful painted covers featuring Cindy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gifflefunk Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Here is something interesting... Timely "Georgie Comics" #25, Feb., 1950, and the Humorama "Joker" digest for April, 1953. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Now that's an interesting pair. I had forgotten that there were some Georgie painted covers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Very nice It seems like most of the copies I've seen of those undersized books are pretty beat up. That one looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofthetotem Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Alittle blunting to the top corners and thats about it. My first GA purchase off Ebay a few years back. Now I only buy most of my GA from board members like yourself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
