BB-Gun Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I thought I recognized that Wonder Woman posted by BZ but couldn't identify it faster than Scrooge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ditto, fantastic, Gino! Looking at these together, I'm struck by how the colorist was such an unsung hero of Fox covers. The cover art is for the most part fairly busy, but they still just look so great! Lots of interesting little elements that pop and draw your eye around.

gino2paulus2 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks gents!! just gotta love em' Speaking of Fantastic I need one of those in there somewhere the Fox hole is looking bare without one now that I am looking at em together. I need a Weird in there too somewhere!! Maybe a Big 3 too but I keep getting blown out on the #7 the last few times it has came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've had more luck finding Blue Beetle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpsunburst Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Beautiful books! The Blue Beetle covers are fantastic, especially the earlier ones, and you are quite right in that they are vastly easier to get right now than the other books he appeared in.

BB-Gun Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I like Our Gang comics with art by Barks and Kelly. Issue 18 was signed by Spanky. I like to imagine it was signed at one of those Houston Cons that he attended "way back when...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to imagine it was signed at one of those Houston Cons that he attended "way back when...". I don't remember Spanky McFarland ever appearing at a Houston show, but I could be very wrong. I remember him being at a show in Dallas in the early 80's. The first time I saw him at a show was in Memphis at a western movie convention. I waited in line for a signature and he was so gruff and complained so much, "I was treated so bad. Buy this still first. Where's my ten dollars? I hate this stuff!". I'm sure there are times when he was Spanky but that day he was Cranky. It turned me off to the whole idea of autographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a comic signed by Martin Nodell and I have a few others signed by Robinson and Kane and Kubert but Martin was one of the few creators that I have met and talked to. He didn't complain and was very nice. I didn't ask him to sign the comic. It was from someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
