Damn, that is beautiful buzz. Funny how the book was way ahead of its time with that stealth plane.

 

Thanks !

Actually the Germans had experimented with flying wings toward the end of WWII.  Read up on the Horten Ho.  They designed some aspects of it to escape radar detection.

Same. I'd prefer it to be original finish, but it looks like a clean paint job, so I'd be content to leave it be if it was just for my personal collection.

Yes, the cover, and also the fight scene between Wolverine and Silver Samurai is one of the best drawn fight scenes in all of comics IMO.

It's great stuff. I have a great deal of love and appreciation for Cockrum and Byrne, but Paul Smith will always be MY X-Men artist.

I think the rack is kinda cool that way.

Thanks. Yeah, I haven't raced out to have it restored i guess because I'm trying to decide if I like it or not.

Looks like he did a neat job so it may be better off that way.  If you use any type of paint remover you may also take off the varnish on the metal which could lead to more problems down the road.  Leave it as is and fill it with 80's comics.   Everything back then was neon greens.  I had a pair of converse skateboarding sneakers that were neon green and neon blue. 

 

Makes me wonder how it would look as an Avacado green. Yeah, if I do end up trying to restore it I'll go to someone who does this kind of thing for a living. I'm not qualified to attempt it myself.

Cool. Thanks. It's not a bad idea. Just pondering over resteration as an option.

Very nice.  Is the Crow #1 a 1st print? It looks very high grade. And that TMNT #2 2nd print is sweet, just a great set of books.:applause:

3rd print, but I couldn't pass it up. It was listed as a VG/FN on mcs, but it looks fantastic to me :x

Strange little mix, but it was one of those antiques shops "take it all" deals

I always liked those old Marvel annuals with the year date right on the cover :applause:
