Richm20 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Good afternoon, I joined this forum after a google search for Bob got me here. I have a very large collection of Bobs work (probably the largest out there) although it wont be for sale, I would like to share some of the work. I will be sorting through it and getting some photos to share. path4play and Casablanca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me some time to sort through it all and get some good photos, just nice to see how many people still love his work. He sure was a talented guy! I may have opened my mouth too soon. Although I have thousands of his pieces, I have almost no comic books. I do have a lot of original comic strips. Is this the wrong place for that?

Got a lot of sorting and orgonizing ahead of me. I guess new members have posting restrictions. I cant post or add photos. Hopefully that restriction will end soon!

I believe it's part of the new software of this board that was implemented to curtail an infamous and vulgar shill who was trolling the Board. Welcome to the Boards and I'll look forward to your images - once a Mod "approves" you, there should be no restrictions. Richm20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the fantastic imagery, Bob. I am looking now at the Arrow recreation Bob did for me......Nice individual.....Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I loved in particular was issue #90 and was really upset that I had missed out on the HG Lost Valley copy of that book. Have alway tried to obtain a nice copy of that book at a reasonable price, but have only ended up with 2 upper end mid-grade copies to date. Found out one day that I actually have a HG copy of Wings 94 and starting to like this cover quite a bit also. I guess my bias must be showing. For all of you Lubbers aficionados out there, just curious as to which one of the 2 books (i.e. Wings 90 or Wings 94) is considered to be the more classic cover and the go to book to get since I have been unsuccessfully after a uber HG copy of Wings 90 for so long that my opinion would be worth diddly-squat here?

I give the slightest nod to the 90 but 94 is right behind it. The colors on the 94 especially if bright are really striking. I was very lucky to get these many years ago when nobody seemed to want Wings. Times have changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolnerowich Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Lubbers didn't do any covers for Planet Comics, but he did interiors for issues 44-47. Here are his amazing splash pages for the Space Rangers title in Planet 44 and Planet 47, the latter of which contains quite a heady illustration. Such classic GA stuff!!!
