joe, do you have access to that "life size" cardboard figure promo Marvel did in the mid-70's? i think that might be the Wolvie one...i'll see if i can dig one up in the meantime

Nope, I think I used to have a scan, but it might have been left on my old PC.

i found one with Spider-Man, but it's not the one i remember. of course, if anyone's counting on my memory, they should immediately punch themselves right in the face

[joe_collector]

No, there was an X-Men one and Nightcrawler looks very familiar. I think it was for 3rd-party advertising and promotion.

Ghost Rider by Gil Kane from cover of Gh Rider v. 2 #25 30c cover price. I could swear that Sub-mariner is from the glossy centerfold insert to FF #128 20c cover price. Clue might be that all the stats are from 20c to 30c cover priced BA Marvel covers or INTERIORS.

[aardvark88]

Valkyrie stat from Defenders Ann #1 50c. Silver Surfer stat was reprinted on a Marvel postcard I have but can't find now. Seems to be a panel from perhaps an early Defenders issue?

[joe_collector]

Judging from these two replies we definitely need someone updatng the list.

that Storm looks like it came from an interior panel of 102 (iirc) after they blast the side of the castle open and she flies out

I just noticed that it *wasn't* from GS X-Men #1 (as stated earlier) and the panel is actually from X-Men 103:

that's the one i was thinking of. couldn't remember if it was 102 or 103.

 

one more down! good work

The Sub-Mariner is indeed from the FF 128 Friends and Foes insert... attached is a scan.

Here you go. It was actually the cover to DD#167, and the Child's Play story was actually the first issue of DD that Miller wrote. But the Comics Code Authority apparently had some problems with the issue and it got bumped for a couple of years until it was finally published in issues 183 and 184. IIRC, the actual original art pages to issue #183 bear the issue number of #167. Issue #184 pages are numbered 184, however, which tells me that the story got rejected before he could finish the art for #184.

 

 

Fellow collectors,

 

I am looking for an image of the unpublished alternate cover to Daredevil #183 Child's Play. It has DD battling Punisher in the background & a little girl playing with angel dust in the foreground. I already searched my back issues of the Comic Reader circa June, 1982 which was the comic's cover date but could not find it.

 

Cover was drawn by Frank Miller, inks by Klaus Janson. I already searched yahoo.images and found nada.

 

I may have seen the b/w image in a Comics Journal or Amazing Heroes magazine. If u can provide a scan or the magazines issue #, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

In the meantime, enjoy this bronze age Marvel cover that u wished u had in your collection:

Nice find FFB... where did you find this? I'd like to see more of these unpublished covers as they are usually interesting and I just saw a Marvel Spotlight 2nd series unpublished cover in an Amazing Heroes issue while I was searching for the DD cover.

My favorite has got to be the rejected cover for Wonder Woman 96. The humor fits the Joker very well.

When aardvark88 mentioned that he had seen it in the squarebound book that compiled all of the Comics Journal interviews of Frank Miller, I remembered that I had that book and checked. He was right; it was in there.

 

This is the book he was talking about. Essential reading for any Frank Miller diehard fan.

[supapimp]

the angel dust/punny storyline was first mentioned in the daredevil index but the unpublished cover wasn't included.

[aardvark88]

Thanks FFB. Great job in finding that rejected Miller cover pic for me.
