TheWatcher Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Picked this up on ebay, D copy. Now only 500 more to go From the recent Clink auction Angelo Nice books Angelo! I love the Spirit section. Is that the Crippen Code in pencil? I will be getting a Spirit book in shortly and will post it when I have it in hand. Yeah Jayman, that's a Crippen copy. I have a few of these in my Spirit collection. Looking forward to seeing your Spirit book Is the Spirit part of your collecting focus, or an impulse buy?

Dick Pontoon Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Love the JIM. Nice Kirby cover. Not to dismiss the book - its beautiful, and nicer than mine - but I've always preferred full covers to split or multi-panel covers. I wonder if they were Kirby's concept, Stan's or a Martin Goodman edict akin to Irwin Donenfeld's decision for recurring ape covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatcher Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Love the JIM. Nice Kirby cover. I bought an original Spirit section many years ago at a Con, and for the life of me I now have no idea where I stored it. I do know I still have it somewhere, though! . That's how I got my first Spirit section, at a con in the mid 80's. I grew up reading the Warren, then Kitchen Sink, reprints. It was the first time I had seen an actuall section in person. Been hooked ever since Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yeah Jayman, that's a Crippen copy. I have a few of these in my Spirit collection. Looking forward to seeing your Spirit book Is the Spirit part of your collecting focus, or an impulse buy? Angelo I only have a couple of the Warren Spirit Mags. This book (when I get it) has a nice horror cover to it so it crosses over into my collecting genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure if the Marvel method was in effect at this point in time, but I'm pretty sure Stan didn't interject too much. As for panel covers, some are better than others. I think it works to great effect on a cover like TOS #23 Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I've got the complete Warren/Kitchen run, plus the over-sized Kitchen magazines. Also have the two-issue Kitchen mini-series from 1973, and a few other one-off things. My prize Eisner is the signed, limited first edition hard cover of A Contract with God. It was a run of 1,500 by Baronet (I think). LOVE Eisner!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
