Please grade my Tales to Astonish #93 - The Silver Surfer!

[divad]

Arguably, the best SS cover of all time!

 

 

"Best?" Very cool but not the best. If its not done by John Buscema then its not the best.

 

John was a latecomer to the SS party. As such most of his covers are "derivative" at best Marie Severin's cover here is a classic Silver Age composition with the Surfer dominating the cover frame - the symmetry (sp?) is startling, and the context of putting the Incredible Hulk "in tow" is just

 

 

Oh, it's on now!

 

John Buscema's Silver Surfer is THE Silver Sufer! And everyone knows that SS #4 is the best SS cover of all time!

 

 

Uh, quite articulate there Norinn

[divad]

anyway, we know we're just a bunch of "slammers" around here!

 

Not trying to slam...just my opinion...

 

Are you going to get it graded?

No, I believe it's spoken for already . . .

Thanks, Diva.

 

What about the fact that she was clearly copying in the Kirby style of drawing the Silver Surfer.

 

I mean, he's got a big line through the middle of his head! Buscema atleast brought his own style to SS. One I like better than Kirby's.

 

[Now that's blasphemy. ]

[nik]

Kirbys version of SS

[burntboy]

7.0

 

we all can't be slammers, can we?

 

 

Lower right corner is too beat to be an 8.0. At least three separate creases there. Upper right is not the best either. Still a nice presentable copy of a GREAT cover. I would have picked it up too!

 

this sums it up pretty nicely for me. i'd have to agree with the 7.0 - 7.5 crowd.

 

i just had a ton of books graded and none of the 8.0's had the degree of creasing that's present on the LRC................still a very nice copy of a classic book......

Your blasphemy aside, TTA #93 is also a favorite. And Marie Severin is highly under-rated.

 

Now that's a beyotch slap if I ever seen one.
