Show Us Your Atlas Books - Have A Cigar 27 27

[rjpb]

As much as I love post-code Everett covers, there's something a little sad about a title that started out featuring vampires, skeletons and ghouls ending up with stories about pet shops and invisible rope.

Mind blowing run of books, ZZutak. I can appreciate the time, effort and the thrill of the hunt in accumulating these terrific Atlas runs you have put together.

[sacentaur]

Amazing, Astounding, and (of course) Astonishing, Jay.

 

[adamstrange]

I love 'em all. Terrific!!!

[Johnny545]

Just amazing Zzutak, really amazing. Thank you for sharing these. Thank you.

 

I always love the backstory on collecting these so of course I am curious about the Church copies - did you buy them from the original catalog?

Wow Adam, one of the top 3 Suspense covers for me - great copy, is this a pedigree?

This is hilarious and true for all of the Atlas horror, obvious shift post code - they do get a little 'goofy' towards the end of the run.

17 and 28 or 25 toss up.

I think this AIWW 18 makes a nice bookend to the Suspense 26 IMO.

I'd definitely go with the 28 over the 25. There's a fantastic Everett story on the 28 in addition to his cover art.

Menace 1 is twice the example that AIWW18 is.

Don't care why you posted it, it's always a pleasure to see your Menace 1 AS!

One final group shot. This time, it's my Astonishing run -- which includes one Bethlehem copy (#35), nine Church copies (#7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20), five Circle 8 copies (#57, 58, 60, 61, 62), one River City copy (#6), one Spokane copy (#8), thirteen White Mountain copies (#13, 14, 27, 45, 46, 47, 48, 50, 55, 56, 58, 59, 63), one issue from Díck Ayers' personal file (#16), two Medina Ohio copies (#3, 4), and eight Petaluma copies (#30, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 50, 51).

 

 

 

 

I've got to say, 13 really stands out to me -- aside from the early Everetts.

Northford as well?

Yes

In the hands of lesser artists, I do think the post-code work suffers. When it's Everett, Heath and, occasionally, Burgos, then I think the level of artistry is so high that they are very compelling in person in a way that doesn't always show up in a scan.
