CGC and raw picture

Great book.  I think my copy ended up being a 8.0 when I sent it for grading.  I bought my copy via mail order back in the day for something like $3.

Ross was 60 years old when he drew this.  Guy still had it.  Inks by Danny Bulanadi, which I like here.

Ok, just noticed they changed the title from "The Vulture Hangs Out!" to "The Vulture Hangs High!".

The first title is dumb, but the second doesn't even really make sense.

 

Hangs out what though - his washing?

 

Oh, hang on.... 

There was line that a Chicago radio legend repeated often, when talking about the weather.

"It's nice out, I think I'll leave it out."

Hey Ganni, are you asking if this is all Ross's work?

Yes... the superman fly by doesn't feel like any drawing done by Ross

Probably a lot of Neal Adams in there but hard to say for sure.

When I look how superman fly, MR. Giordano comes into my mind.  Dunno why, not Neal Adams at all.  Its just me I guess.

Because a bunch of us geeks wanted to honor the man that brought us great memories in our comic collecting youth.

Hi, I'm Reagan. I'm a geek since the bronze age.  People here call me Ganni or Gan.  And back in the 70s.  I read "Ross" name  like the flower "Rose".  So what do I have to do to be part of the RAASM club?

The argument might be made that in his early to mid 60's Andru hit his artistic peak. 

IMHO his ASM then later his Superman work and many DC covers were noticeably more polished than his earlier art

Oh, I couldn't agree more.  Even his MTU art is much less polished than his ASM artwork.  I'm just amazed at the work he was putting out when he was 60 years old, like that Blue Beetle page I posted.

Too all odd chaps and us geeks, thank you for all  your luv. Sadly, it's not me running the RSASM club.  Took a while to write this, as you can see I have a bit of a problem with my safe
