TOS 84 page framed

Awesome! If you ever want to sell this baby, keep me in mind!! I used to own the cover and miss that Adaptoid v. Cap thing! Dan F. hail.gif

 

Sell it??? Blasphemy!!! 27_laughing.gif

 

Who did you sell the 84 cover to? That is a grail piece. I read this comic as a kid and it made a major impression on me!

 

Thanks for the kudos everyone. The framing cost me about $250 with a dual matting (white with a black border matte around all three pieces) and UV-blocking glass. They also used a slightly deeper frame than I normally get so that they could frame the full issue of the comic without having to tape it or damage it in any way (I used a nice VF copy that I got from Divad for the full issue, and I had them cut the interior page out of a beater copy I got from Silver Surfer -- thanks again, guys!)

 

I had more than one piece framed so I did get a 20% discount, which helped!

Great, great piece.

 

I know I'm in the minority, but Giacoia was always my favorite Kirby inker. FG picked up on certain Kirby cues (the "chin squiggle" and other musculature tricks) in a way that that just makes the figure work shine.

 

Thanks for the comments!

 

He's definitely one of my favorite Kirby inkers. I think Giacoia did as nice a job on those Caps as Sinnott did on Jack's FF pencils. Syd Shores also did nice work on the Cap series.
