Here's a post of mine detailing the Lichtenstien swipe from this book for Mr. Bellamy with 2 links to images, which were originally posted by David Barlasou, 20 years ago...for those unfamilar with that name, Barsalou is an art historian who is widely considered to be the foremost expert on Lichtenstien swipes.

I seem to have been one of the very few people who knew this book is a Lichtenstien swipe, prior to my addition of this book to the Lichtenstien swipe thread on this board a few days ago.

This book seems to be possibly the rarest Lichtenstien swiped source book, I purchased this copy graded at 2.0 by MCS a couple weeks ago from my Mycomicshop saved search notifications and had it held for consignment with MCS.

Upon pricing this book, I saw there have been NO OTHER COPIES of this book in any grade than this GD 2.0 copy, sold at Mycomicshop , per their sales history on this book.

Considering the volume of comics that Mycomicshoop buys and sells, I think that is a pretty solid indicator of the relative scarcity of this book.

After about a year of waiting, I did manage to luck out and get a hit from my eBay saved searches back in July, I snagged that copy via BIN/BO soon as I got the notification from eBay and it's in my PC. May have it slabbed at Baltimore this weekend but probably not as I doubt I'll find a third copy. and I collect Lichtenstien swipe books for my PC.....lightning doesn't strike three times, especially now that the cat is out of the bag and I won't be the only person I know looking to buy this book any longer.
