Don-

 

The 44 is one of my favorite post code Atlas books. I love the way BE drew the woman's face - love the perspective also. Congrats Don!

 

I agree. Very pleased with both books.

.... and they may have been held back by Geppi or already promised to someone.... if Overstreet did indeed have the bulk of them. I appreciate your input .....as I am an incurable provenance junky. GOD BLESS...

Overstreet got first pick of the debut set that Jerry Wiest brought to San Diego but I kinda doubt that there were a whole mess of Atlas WMs in Overstreet's collection. Jerry was the agent for the WMs and a number sold through Sotheby's or directly to collectors as they were only gradually released onto the market.

 

I bought two of the lesser WM JIM's in Overstreet's collection from WWC a 13 and 44 - 5.5 and 6.0 respectively. Sold both, they were nice books, but the 13 had a solid crease in the FC and the 44 had a rip at the top staple.

Those I never owned.

 

I'm guessing that when I saw his run there were only 50-60% of the issues between 1 - 82. It's likely that is all he owned but I can't be certain. All of the copies were very fresh so it was quite a treat to see that many together.

Everett's inks on JIM 44 are superb!

Agreed! It's gone on the wantlist... great copy, Don!

Another fine example of Everett getting more eerieness into a post-code cover than most artists were able to do pre-code.

The "B" and "E" on her collar are a cool touch too! (thumbs u

Missing the centerfold, but the price was right and decent eye appeal despite the miscut ( the tanned white along the top right edge is actually part of the cover.) I bought it for the cover, so I can live without the centerfold if I don't find one, and the seller sent color jpegs if I want to read it.)

I saw that one, forgot about it or it would have gone higher. I think you got a great deal even with the missing CF - congrats!

Here's a neat Maneely cover with photos of the Tomlinson cover story. (Need to work on the lighting next time).

Great stuff. Was that the copy from ebay? - part of that group of nice Atlas Westerns that went for a fair price, but still more than my lowball bids - I may regret not going higher. I keep toying with collecting Atlas Westerns with gun in the foreground covers - they are universally cool.

Yes, this was from that batch of books and I already regret not bidding higher on some of them.

The gun in the foreground collection would be cool. You'll finish yours before I finish my Atlas westerns with guns on the cover collection.

Great stories, thanks for posting!

That 2 pager by Heath was great! (thumbs u

Nice book. Now we'll see if PCL catches on.

You're welcome. I really like the Heath story too.

Nice book. Now we'll see if PCL catches on.

 

I don't why it wouldn't. It's exactly like PCH except for the violence, gore, supernatural beings and malice.
