Love it too, I always hear the Traveling Wilburys in my head when I see this cover. What grade did he have his in?

It's been a while, but I think 6.0 or 6.5 ... which is the beginning of high grade for most Atlas ... I have a few friends who love Atlas AND have money who still don't have copies of many of them above VG/F ... which, if graded tightly, ain't bad. GOD BLESS...

... Gene did say once that there are high grades out there, but they aren't slabbed and they don't change hands....

Of that I’m sure! I know a boardie that has a beautiful cover proof of this book. I’m not much of a grade chaser these days but some of these books just shine in high grade, and this is one of them!

Absolutely, one of the most difficult Atlas issues to find in a solid fine or better. I have looked since the 1980s. My raw grades around vg+.

This one has the most gloss possible for an Atlas... and we all know that can be quite a bit. The Heath cover doesn't hurt. GOD BLESS....

Yow! Where is the Kid jumping that horse to??!? I really hope there’s a nearby cliff or he’s gonna be doing a Wile E. Coyote pretty quick!
