tortoise Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 A little OT but I thought I'd share these. I'm not really into statues or toys but when a colleague told me he had these and was willing to sell at a knock down price I couldn't say no. Firstly a pair of uber-sweet Bowen busts [/img] The Galactus bust is fantastic (And a little on the huge side) Next was this little gem. Only cost me 50p (about 30c). Looking at the state of the box I wasn't sure if all the pieces were included. [/img] After an hour of child-like jigsaw shenanigans [/img] Bowen makes the best stuff, I LOVE IT.

TheLiamSturgess Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Got this in the mail. Spider-Man Magazine from the UK - reprints ASM 194 (First Black Cat). Gonna get this slabbed. Do any of you know if this would qualify for Magazine grading, or regular comic grading? It's much larger than a regular comic, and larger than the Marvel Graphic Novels from the '80s.

Green Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think they are graded under the mag tier, but i cant remember for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiamSturgess Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think they are graded under the mag tier, but i cant remember for sure. Thanks! The tier means the difference between $32 and $54 for me, so hopefully the Mag tier is the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Now Im in the right thread! I just upgraded this book. I do love a canary yellow cover! What came first - this or The Creature From the Black Lagoon? They sure do look a lot alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 CFTBL came first. This HOM is from 1960, the Creature film came out in 1954. Its funny, this is one of the few monster covers that appeared in DC Sci-fi books... Meanwhile, over at Atlas, they were cranking out at least 4 monster covers every month!
