Big mistake on my part. When I mentioned AAWC 104 I meant 113. foreheadslap.gif

 

Now it makes sense. Heck, I wouldn't think you'd mix up Batman 10 and Batman 11 so the comment was confused.gif. As for the desirability of AAWC # 113, of the ones I posted, it was the most "expensive". # 114 cost $10, # 104 cost as mentioned $15, and # 113 was the highest at $30. Certainly reflects that you're not the only one to like that cover.

Another western where you don't expect it.

As for AAW, it is one of my least favorite covers in the run even though that solid red background sure is eye-catching ...

 

I like it, but maybe because it's got one of my personal favorite western bits--the gloved hands wrestling for a gun. (The gloved part is crucial. smirk.gif)

 

Watching Will Penny for the first time right now btw.

There was a discourse earlier between Scrooge & adamstrange which talked all around AAW 109 without mentioning it, I was curious why so I thought I'd post it hoping for a comment.

 

I agree, the glove hand wrestling for the gun.....the frozen in time struggle w/in the solid red back ground brings images of what's too come.

 

I've never been much for AAWs but the exchange between Scrooge & adamstrange was worth paying attention too. Specifically Scrooge's comment on AAW 104;

 

One aspect of this cover I really like is the change in emphasis in each of the three panels. Let me try to explain what I mean by having you concentrate on the depiction of the bull-head neck-tie. In the first shot, the furthest away with the full-shot, no attention to detail is in, just the idea of the neck-tie is present. In the what-s-the-name again second shot, you find the most detailed version of the neck-tie to help better give personality to the character. In the full-shot, it was the body position who projected the character. Finally, in the last frame, in the close-up, the neck-tie is no longer as detailed but rather the facial expression is emphasis as this is where the focus has shifted. Maybe, I'm making too much out of it but it certainly is a favorite of mine.

 

I don't think he was making too much of it....

 

I'm posting at random with this one.....I happen to like the story the cover depicts....
