If anyone has them its John Mankuta.

 

You read the article in Playboy about OA last year,..I think, December issue ?

[desertdogg]

kk. sorry i never saw that issue. we have a very large amount of pervert,s where i live and when i went to buy the issue from barns and noble to read, yes read. .

 

it was already sold our here. and i don,t think it was the story on comic art that guys here were buying it for. they should of had the article in peoples magazine or something then it would have not sold out.

Hi,

 

I have what I consider the best cover in the run. After all, there's really not much to the #75 cover, is there? You'd be surprised how much I've been offered for this. I almost sold it a year or so ago for 5K, but have since been offered significantly more.

 

Here it is:

hari. thanks for sharing. i know theres nothing to # 75 cover it was just a rib shot to kk.

 

but its a nice cover. but iam perplexed over the high demand for it. can you really call it comic book history. ?

 

larry. ;]

It was the biggest event in the 1990s, so yes it's comic book history. Whether we are proud of it is a whole other issue, though. I thought the story was contrived, and the promotion of it embarrassing, but in the end we all read it. That makes it not only historic but potentially much more remembered than many other comics from that decade. And, we all know that nostalgia drives comic art prices to a large degree.

 

All the best,

[heartened]

Who owns the cover to #75? Anyone know?

[desertdogg]

you know what. your right. i never thought about it that way. most of us did get suckered into buying the book in the 1st place. so yes that is comic book history.
