adamstrange Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Finally got round to photographing my recently completed set of Lorna the Jungle Girl. That is pretty darn cool (thumbs u I'll second that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thought it would be fun to try a group shot of my 1940s/50s sci-fi books, across various titles and companies. I get such a kick out of those early, quaint notions of what "the future" and "space travel" would be like... and it definitely fired up the imaginations of a lot of great comic artists! (Also note the cool logos represented here.) Hope to beef up my collection further with some early-ish Planets and more Xela airbrush covers in the months to come.

Electron Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Wonderful group of books! I think the Science 4 stands out from the rest with it's bright red cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Great books Jon. The Lily Rene Planet cover in the bottom row looks wonderful. You don't need all of the books in the top row though. PM me and I'll explain which ones you could usefully let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful collection of sci-fi comics! The sci-fi aesthetic from that time period is so beautiful. I especially like your Startling #48, which looks like a really clean, nice grade.

Scrooge Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 The colors on the Science 3 are amazing but my fave of the bunch is still that Renee Planet. I saw Bedrock's copy at Baltimore and should have sprung for it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that Exciting...#3 is it? Such a tough book! I've always preferred the Wonder comics covers to the Startlings! That Planete #39 is so tough in grade! Those Science Comics would be so much better off in my collection! In fact, as I look at that shot, I'm struggling to find a single comic I dont need! In fact I hate this post!

Point Five Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks again for the kind words, folks. Here's a closer look at the Planet 39. I've sold the few Planets I've had over the years, but at least I had enough sense to keep this one. I love the colors & the deep blacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
