love this one<br>

 

I always wondered why Wildcat was on that 100 pager

 

wildcat falls in line with Batman and Robin. No superpowers.

Mosconi,

Just curious, what's the grade on that 232? Sure is sharp looking.

 

Sorry I didn't respond earlier as I've been swamped at work. Yeah, this is a truly beautiful copy that is in a CGC 9.4 case. The grader's notes show 9.6, 9.4, 9.4 so it was a borderline 9.6 candidate. The centering is fantastic and we all know how commonly miswrapped this #232 is.

 

Here's another cover that I greatly admire and another book that I never plan to sell

I didn't get to spend as much as I wanted to at the NYCC because I wanted this book. I thought I would have to spend at least 2x as much as what I won it for.

 

'Tec 395 9.2

That's my former copy

I sold it as a 9.0 raw

I'll take all of your 9.0's then.

You should have tried to release it's full potential before you sold.

Nice pick up. I had eyeballed that auction as well. What turned me off was that dent at the top/mid-spine edge. Because of the crappy scans and difficulty discerning this defect I preferred to pass on it. Still a sweet book

[mosconi]

Here's another sweet Bats cover and the 2nd app of Ras Al Ghul. Anyone else agree that this does not look like a Neal Adams cover although it is listed as such??

 

[blowout]

Adams pencils inked by someone else?

It does have an Adams look about it, but I can see where you are coming from.

[mosconi]

Yeah, I think it might be the inker thats throwing me. Something about the Batman figure in the water made me think it had to be another artist (just didn't look like Adams style). Brave & Bold #83 is listed by CGC as a Neal Adams cover but we all know that was done by Nick Cardy so....

Not sure if you have seen this, but Adams' site has a complete cover and interior art listing, including some cover galleries.

I think you're probably right that the #235 shows inker Giordano more than Adams. Maybe Adams did a rougher-than-usual layout for his inker to follow?

 

Oh, and the B&B 83 is actually a Novick.

[mosconi]

Oh, and the B&B 83 is actually a Novick.

 

Couldn't remember if it was Irv Novick or Nick Cardy. CGC still notes it as Adams, as does the Overstreet.

 

Thanks for the links October

That's my favorite Riddler cover. Whenever I see it, I imagine the Riddler speaking with Frank Gorshin's voice and everything meshes perfectly. I started buying Batman with 278, so that issue would have been purchased as a back issue shortly after I started collecting and discovered the newstand with boxes of back issues.

[Darrell F]

I love that cover as well. Here is another one of my favorites.

Sold this one to Richnerd a little while back
