Here's a New York comic book vendor, illustrated by Bill Everett, from "Love Romances" 15, dated March 1951.

Sorry it took so long to reply,yes it was ebay seller toadspring.I LOVE those everett Subby's!! One of the comics I would most like to own is a Sub-mariner Comics # 32 if I could ever find a sharp VG at a time when I have the money.I've never seen one in real life and always wondered what the interior work was like.Ditto for the 28 & 29.One of the few restored books I own is a Marvel Mystery # 82 with the first Namora.I was able to get it for mostly trade but it was still pricey.It looks VF except for a 2 inch back cover crease.I don't keep it here or I would put up a scan of it.GOD BLESS...

You mean one of these the prize of my collection.

[jimjum12]

I believe that's a keeper.Where in the heck did you find that beauty?I probably would have driven into a telephone pole trying to get that thing home!!!GOD BLESS...

p.s.How good are the art and stories in it?

[Silver Surfer]

It has slight P resto, really only on the cover as confimed by Matt Nelson. Stumbled over this on EBay one day and I didn't think I had a hope of getting it so I put a half hearted bid in at the last minute and was the high bidder by maybe $5-$6 (got it at what I thought was a smoking price). The art is great but I don't remember the story too much as I'm terrified to handle this book. Plan to send it to get it slabbed very soon so I might just have to read it again to refresh the memory.

Here's a small run of Atlas books that took me 5 years to put together on ebay.I still need to upgrade the #4.They have art by most of the Atlas horror stable on a very unexpected subject matter.GOD BLESS...

That's a beautiful set. I'd love to find any of those in high grade.

[jimjum12]

I think metropolis might still have a 8.0 copy of the # 2 issue on their site .I was thinking about it but mine is probably VG+ and fits in nicely with my golden/atom age books(just a few) which are mostly in that grade.Thanks for pointing out the photobucket information,I'll try that tomorrow.I just hope that you haven't created a "mawnstah".GOD BLESS...

Maniac - nice pick up, a one of the great covers from that era.

I'm becoming wistful already - when I start buying again - I think I'll be looking for a raw VGish YM #24 (among a few score other books).

 

Good luck with the rest of your Atlas super-hero run IM!
