I have a beater copy of this and had to pull it out again and look past the wrinkles. I hadn't truly realised what great cover it had.

 

I have always liked Roussos cover inks (and Chic Stone, too) on early Marvel Age Kirby. On the interior art, Roussos put a rough-hewn, chiseled look on Kirby's pencils. I tend to suspect that Kirby worked a bit faster and more cartoony on this early book at a time when he was doing almost all Marvel's pencils. Some of the expressions on Fury's face are hilarious. I wish I had a scanner as page 9 and 11, in particular, illustrate the wit that can be found in a gifted artist's work.

 

Thanks for the great scan.

I'd say you're off to one helluva start. 893applaud-thumb.gif
Thanks guys! Im on the hunt for more of them, perhaps a 9.0 #13 893scratchchin-thumb.gif.

Anyway, the 29 is a lost Green River book. It has been confirmed with both Brad and Shin, so now ive got to get a hold of Haspel and see what needs to be done.

If you look at the yellow above "N" in Armageddon, you will see the tell tale GR date stamp.
