DC Greytone Cover thread 3 3

[whisp]

Picked up my first greytone comic ever for my collection just to say I have one

 

[comick1]

Bada$$ Heath washtone.

Dunno who got the reproduction on that from Heath, but that--next to the GIC 87--was my first choice back when he was doing those. And those two were already "spoken for."

[JohnT]

Never seen that one. The smoke from the plane fading into the night is incredibly realistic.

[whisp]

The smoke trail was why it is one of my favourites.

 

Comick1 do you know where that date stamp is from?

[JohnT]

 

 

When Comick1 posted this book a while back it was the first time I'd seen it. Naturally I put it on my "must have" list, but I had no idea that Buttock would put one up for sale in the selling forum a few weeks later!

 

To fully appreciate Comick1's copy, compare the colors in his to my new copy!

Anyone have an MIS 55 for sale?

Well, it appears to be from. . .er. . .San Diego. Wish I could say I DID recognize it. Did you get it from somebody who lives in SD?

No got it from a friend here in Canada. He suggested asking you if you knew anything more about the date stamp when I bought it.

Cool book, great greytone, and an intense war scene.

[Speedy-D]

Another great thread. Here are a few greytones I found in my collection. At least I think they're greytones.

 

House of Mystery #189:

 

House of Mystery #197:

 

House of Mystery #205:

 

The Witching Hour #3:

House of Mystery #205:

 

 

Never seen this cover. Love it! Gotta get me one of those.

 

Some of these covers look like they're done with charcoal or black chalk, rather than the earlier greytone technique (which believe me, I don't understand). But this one looks like a greytone.

Yeah, most of the ones I was sure about have already been posted. The HoM 189 is really cool. Charcoal or whatever it is, it's like you can see Neal Adams' real drawing, inking free, every little line & squiggle. he may not be the greatest guy in person, but he could really draw back in the day.

 

The HoM 205 grabbed me right away when I saw if at the convention. It's a crazy cover, it just sucks me in.

And, if anyone has any doubts about THIS one, here's the color guide:

 

 

Oops. We missed one of the biggies.
