Mad Dog Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The first time I posted in this thread, I asked Alton if I could post my group of 2 books. Here's some updated pictures. I took 1 group shot of all, and two separate pics, so you would be able to see the books better. They range from 4.0 to 7.5 and 1 raw book. not a bad looking table either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They range from 4.0 to 7.5 and 1 raw book not a bad looking table either We only eat on it major holidays. It had about 100lbs. of clutter on it. I took hold of the tablecloth, folded it up some, and managed to clean it off in one shot. My wife is due home in 20 minutes. we'll see if she likes the table.

ciorac Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Finally finished a mini goal on my Wings run... Picked up #4 from Heritage last week to complete the #1-5 run. They're all low to mid grade, but they'll do... for now I have a buddy that would flip over that shot! Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Theagenes, it seems to me you're missing this one What is that!!? Edit: Ah, this must come from some of the unpublished Russ Manning stuff, right? Very cool! (Man, that group shot photo of mine is really crappy. I need to try and redo it with that flickr software.)

It's featured in Mr. Monster's Comic Crypt or whatever Michael Gilbert's feature is called in AE # 63. Cool, I'll have to pick that up. I remember seeing the Manning stuff on the internet somewhere a while back. There is interior art out there as well. What's interesting is that Chessmen of Mars is the fifth novel in the series, which suggests there may have been another John Carter Four Color planned, adapting the fourth novel Thuvia, Maid of Mars between 488 and this Manning "FC 528" that also went unpublished. I remember seeing a painted cover in an old issue of CBM that looked like it was done as a "sequel" to the painted cover of 488. Both the cover of 488 and this second "mystery" John Carter cover were reused for a British magazine. The CBM article suggested that this second cover might have been for an unpublished fourth John Carter FC. So there may actually be two "lost" John Carters out there.

Theagenes Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Here are the covers to the British magazines I mentioned. Super Thriller Annual 1958 (obviously swiped from FC 488): and Super Thriller Annual 1959, with the same character, same costume, etc.: The question is, was this second cover an original work for Super Thriller, or was a it a swipe as well from an unpublished fourth John Carter FC cover? The fact that the unpublished Manning issue should be the fifth in the series, makes the latter scenario more plausible I think. I know I'm probably the only one who cares, but I find it interesting nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
