Golden age artwork from DC and Marvel/Atlas is very rare. I own one cover from Timely by John Buscema from 1949. I dint think I have ever seen a Bill Everett original cover from the golden age. mstrange and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that art is owned by the estate of Bill Everett or was discarded over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtlevy1 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Very little exists from Timely/Atlas era Below is only cover art I am aware of - owner suggests there is another in the header: EVERETT - Astonishing cover (1 of 2 Atlas covers known to exist?), in Richard Donnelly's ATLAS EVERETT COVER - (Horror) Comic Art Gallery Room (comicartfans.com) On interiors, Young Men 26 is out there - you can see a few pages in HA.com archives and online - and of course, the historic Marvel comics 1 page just posted The Everett estate sold some nice art on HA.com a while back One less thing to worry about raising funds for - if this cover popped up, no telling what it would sell for...

Most was discarded. The family has no Golden Age art. I think there might be a cover from the 50s along with several Sub-Mariner pages from the 1950s.

Appreciate your response to my questions. It's a shame that art was discarded a lot of Everett's best art was from that period of the 50's IMHO.

Golden age artwork was considered worthless just part of the process. One story is a publisher used it to insulate the walls of his house. mstrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemart1966 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) All this being said, there's a lot of stuff hidden away that people have no idea about - you never know what's out there.

buttock Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 There's a preliminary cover for Navy Tales 1 out there also. jimjum12 and mstrange 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiconxion Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 And there's a prelim from the cover to Marvel Comics #2 that used to be on display at the Marvel restaurant at Universal Studios back in the 90's. Not sure where it ended up, but it was a cool Sub-Mariner piece. Twanj and grapeape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
