scburdet Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Here's one to keep you entertained on a Friday night if you're the kind of person, like me, whose most exciting Friday night plans are grading comics online. This follows up on the SSC 8 I posted earlier. Interestingly, I've reached out to several creators recently to find information on early/obscure books. EVERY SINGLE ONE has responded, and more quickly than I get responses to work emails I send. Anyway, Al Milgrom confirmed J Star from issue 8 was Starlin. Starlin uses a slightly different pseudonym here. This one is from 1969, so a 20ish year old Starlin. The issue 8 was 3 years earlier. Milgrom would have been 15/16 & Starlin might have been 17. Crazy. Mars76 and Qalyar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 What's that white mark above the A in STAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say what to call it, especially for a semi-professional production. It's not a tear or a chip out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm gonna assume it's part of the printing process as there appears to be another white spot on the bc. Book looks really sharp, 9.4. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bat Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Yeah right edge corners look slightly blunted so I go 9.2 - 9.4 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qalyar Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 9.2 And I just have to say that the very high grade, scarce indie books you've been posting lately have been very impressive. I have no idea where you're finding these, but keep doing what you're doing. Also, I'm not jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
