Bill Everett!!

[adamstrange]

Venus 17 is probably my all-time favorite Everett issue. Great cover and stories, led by Cartoonist Calamity that you picture. I've always felt that the character he introduces at the end of that story is another attempt to bring back Subby.

 

The only other story (that I'm aware of) that is as wild as CC, is in Namora 2 -- and, like Venus 17, it's a very tough book to find.

Probably the height of Everett's creativity is on display in the "Venus" issues he did.

I need to add this to my want list...

Ev did only 3 covers for this title, and they're all pretty nice. The #25 strikes me as atypical for Everett, and it is, as far as I can see, unsigned; still, Overstreet attributes it to Everett, and I feel confident that he got it right.

Graet books, That # 25 though I'm not so sure that is Everett. It could be , but look at the figure of the man , I'm not so sure. That's a tough one!!!! Whoever did it , it's still a cool cover. What do the rest of you guy's think??? P. S.The creatures look like something Bill would have created , but I'm still not sure!!!

[PUNYHUMAN]

Hey, maybe it's Bill inking over another Artist, just a thought!!!!!

Relying on Overstreet can be slippery! Overstreet attributes the cover of Marvel Tales 27 to Everett, and says nothing about #26. If either cover is Everett's, I believe #26 is. Check Gerber's Photo Journal for #27 and see what you think.

Now there is a cover you don't see too often. I think it just jumped on to my want list.

[PUNYHUMAN]

Personally,# 26 definately looks like Everett to these eyes!! # 27 from what I see ,looks like Schomburg,both great covers though. I like the # 26, a little better though!!

I've posted this in the past ,but it's a great Everett cover that needs to be seen. One of his best IMO!!! Vol.2 # 2. BTW John Verzyl has a VF copy coming up in his latest auction, boggles the mind ,because these kind'a books are hard to find in any grade!!!

I have to ask...

 

Why would you "bump" a thread after just 20 minutes??

Wait. Didn't you just bump this 20 minute bump?

Well? I gave it more than an hour!

Puny:

 

Nice seminal Everett art on that AMF 2-2. I agree wholeheartedly with you on the Amazing Mystery Funnies; they are such nice collections of early comic art that appear so infrequently that any one is a book to treasure! I haven't seen the copy in Verzyl's auction; Maybe I'll chase it if I can get a pass on my mortgage for a month or so.

 

I also agree with your assessment of MT 26 (Everett) and 27 (Schomburg).

 

While we wait for Overstreet's reconsideration, here's a pair of Ev's better (IMO) war covers.

 

Bump??

 

 

[precodekeith]

Bump??

 

 

Nah! It's not a real "bump" if ya don't use the

That Navy Combat cover is great. Everrett really did alot of nice post-code covers for Atlas. It's too bad Stan Lee didn't have him do some pre-hero monster covers.

[Paris_Fred]

As nobody cares, I will ,definitely stop destroying my books for the pleasure of some happy fews.

[AtlasT]

This issue contains a nice example of Everett's romance art.

Wouldn't hitting the pilotless bomb make it go off? Maybe not the wisest course of action.
