Well, let's see (putting detective cap on)...Berk owns the Mile High, a buddy of mine has the Larson, I own the Nova Scotia so it's...it's....Allentown?

She's a real beauty...

What's truly depressing is that I own a pedigree (Nova Scotia) copy of WonderWorld 8...and it's the worst of the bunch (har!).

 

STEVE Got Larson? (in this particular case, I don't)

 

OK, OK - here's the most unworthy FOURTH best known copy (grumble, grumble) of the classic WonderWorld 8:

(just kidding - I love this book)

 

STEVE Got Larson? (nope, sold it - but Nova Scotia is always nice to visit)

Very nice looking copy Steve. But where is the telltale "M" that is usually found on NS books?

Good Question - there's a pencil squiggle 3/5 the way down on the right edge, but it's not the typical "M" we're used to. I dunno... a spastic moment for the author of the mark perhaps?

 

I recall being offered the "Allentown" copy of Zip 9 (classic cover). That book - for some unknown reason - has a strange pencil notation in the 'Z' on the cover. Frankly at the time I had never heard of an Allentown Zip, nor of any Allentowns with writing on the cover, so I called Payette and described the book. He remembered and immediately confirmed it, so I did make the purchase.

 

I only have a handful of NS, but they are all very conistent in quality and presentation.

I always felt Tuska also, could be wrong though. I have that book myself & have looked at it over the years & always keep coming back to George Tuska . Maybe Jon Berk knows??

 

 

Do not know....but what I DO know is that Tuska did the cover for #6 (as he did for Weird 1). Since Fine was still doing covers up to 9, I do not think Simon started any covers until #10. Also do not know who else BUT Tuska did Fox covers until Simon replaced the Eisner/Iger shop. jon
