Absolutely! I would say that a majority of these books stayed in my collection due to luck (e.g. potential buyers backing out of deals at the last minute, wanting to wait long enough to break even on some of my favorite covers, etc.). Luckily once the dust settled in 2016 I was able to keep around 20 or so books. It's interesting that the only book from this picture that I didn't consider selling 10 years ago was the Jo Jo #11 copy (your Church copy is out of this world). I think my reasoning was the book was way undervalued at the time, and still is today. I would even rank it above Jo Jo #25 as the best Jungle themed good girl art cover. adamstrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really liked a lot of these covers over the years, and didn't know that the same artist drew them all... I mean, the Shadows I knew but less so the rest. Putting them all together like this, they are really striking & you see how much Powell's bold style brought to the table.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 Anybody remember the days when you could go to a show with a few grand, spend the day box diving and come home with a pile like this? Maybe that’s why it’s so hard for me to be a collector now… goldust40, The Black Hand ®, AJD and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
