Yup, my high grade Atlas Sub-Mariner run is coming together nicely.

Nice #76. Congrats!

 

It's a good thing the #78 wasn't any higher grade or I would have been tempted.

Seeing these patriotic posts, I couldn't help but think of...the GHOST GUARD!

 

[Silver Surfer]

Nice.

[adamstrange]

Nice.

 

Ditto!

You talking about ANY Atlas? Many have been shown. I put this one on the War thread to no effect. Will post it again here - may be a better venue. I got this book initially in the late 80's from Steve Higgins at Outer Limits in Waltham, MA (A true comic dealer gentleman). Lost it long ago in one of my three bouts of "I am no longer collecting comics" insanity. Found it again at San Diego Con this year! That crooked neck really got me!

 

 

 

Here's what the original artwork looks like:

 

 

I don't own this, incidentally, but took a copy of the image from a dealer's web-site.

Here's the only Atlas cover original artwork I do own:

 

 

Russ Heath's BATTLE ACTION # 3 cover.

 

Alarger scan of the original can be seen in my CAF Galleries:

Can't complain about that one. I have become a big Heath fan in the past year.

Couldn't pass on this one.

This thread needed a bump anyway:

Just got it in the mail today:

 

 

 

.....and now I just got it back from CGC.

 

 

 

Officially tied for the second highest census copy now.

 

I bought the book raw from Harley Yee last year after seeing it at Wizard World Chicago.

Maniac cool cover. What's next on the superhero checklist for you? Almost bought the YM#24 on CL but would like a slightly higher grade copy.

From the Western thread in the General Forum.

 

 

I've got that one with a nice big signature of Betty Lou Yount on the cover, along with the red #2.

 

Nice book.

Hey guys,

 

I've just been re-reading this thread and enjoying a lot of the Heath Atlas War covers. I have a few others that I will try and post soon.

 

Question... did Heath do many Atlas Western covers? If so, I'd love to see some of them.

 

Thanks

Shep

Here's one that I haven't posted yet (I think). Took me ages to find a decent copy of this cover, which I just love. Heath... MMMmmmmmmm.
