KirbyJack Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The highest grade SA comic I ever owned was a Brother Power 1. It was raw, but virtually flawless. I had a nosebleed 2 to go with it. Was happy to get $20 for the pair when I sold them. Ken Aldred, 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um..... am I even gonna get $9.99 for it? What if I forge Stan Lee's signature on it? Edited April 20, 2020 by gadzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few people realize this, but Basil Wolverton was the impetus for Jack Kirby and Stan Lee’s FANTASTIC FOUR. The cover to issue #1 is the proof: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 In the spirit of Brother Power, a ridiculous comic as opposed to a panel, I nominate the following: Justice League of America 89 World’s Finest 289 the entire “New Blackhawk Era” You’ll have to read them to know the extent of their crimes. I apologize in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DC "Hippy" comic called "Brother Power - The Geek", written and drawn by Joe Simon (Joe must have been smokin' something good while making this one). It is seriously almost unreadable. So bad. The cover says "Here is the REAL-LIFE SCENE of the Dangers in HIPPIE-LAND". Check out the cover & an interior splash. Ridiculous. He must have went to the Jack Kirby school of writing hippie dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Plenty of goofy panels in Action 305 'why stupidman needs a secret identity'. The writers really need to stretch credibility to drive this home. Here we see luthor killing stupidman as he flies out of his apt. why he even needs an apt is a mystery he can live in the fortress or the moon for that matter. Yes luthor could never shoot stupidman anywhere else but flying out of his apt. He never shows up anywhere else as everyone knows.

gadzukes Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I ran across this cover today. Are those Hub-Caps on the front of his outfit? And it's quite the anatomy lesson. And quite the lesson in shading. The only redeeming thing for me is the artist remembered to put the "T" on Thor's belt. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
