jimjum12 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Here are three nice 1965 Marvels I picked up at the Toronto Con. The Spider-Man was an upgrade I debated (note the three long folds on the cover...far more noticeable in the scan) but purchased as my, now, undercopy had a tape pull that bugged me a bit. I was happy with the Avengers as it is my earliest copy from the pre-1966 period I am interested in. I have never been a big Avengers reading fan as balancing so many diverse heroes in one title always seemed a real task for both writer and artist. So I appreciate this book for the Kirby cover and the Heck art (Ayers did a marvelous job on the inks). The GCBD lists Frank Giacoia as the inker for Kirby. I am sure they are right but it really does have a Gil Kane look to it. This FF was probably my best purchase... sold to me from a 50% off bin as a 7.0. I wish I could buy 7.0s like this all day long... the long transverse stress line by the bottom staple is only easy to see in the scan and the colours are eyepopping. Another great and probably unappreciated Kirby cover as it seldom comes up for discussion when discussing his FF work. #47 is also the last issue for the "small print" Marvel colophon that was originally designed by Ditko back in February 1963 (Apr./May issue dates) for all the Marvel titles. Colophon.....I just learned a new word GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almoe Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Lucked out at an antique mall and picked up an Uncanny #266 in about a 9.4 for $2.25 - I am outta town in Columbus, MS and had been complaining that there wasn't any comic books in this damn town and what do ya know - Also picked up at the same place Uncanny #212 and #213 approx 9.2 $4 each - Secret Wars #8 - approx 9.2 $13 That #266 was the winner - the others were just some books I needed in the run - the Secret #8 is one of those hoard books for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Spent the day at a little comic show in New Orleans with Matt (Shiverbones). Had a blast! Connected with some friends that I haven't seen in many years. Some of which I've known since the early 80's Nice crowd, and some decent books. I only picked up one book but it is a SA comic near and dear to my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
