Mystery In Space #82

 

A copy from the David Toth collection, a ridiculously nice collection of tough early SA DCs with exceptional paper preservation. This ish has an awesome atomic explosion cover.

Mystery In Space #85

 

Sweet raw purchase from a local comic show.

Which would be your keeper copy of Mystery In Space #86?

 

David Toth copy with brilliant cover colors and snow white back cover. Off-white to white pages. Perfect cover registration front to back, but cut a bit tight along the top. Looks like an easy 9.4.

 

 

 

Or

 

9.4 top census copy with white pages. Minor wear essentially equivalent to that of the Toth copy. Slight cover miswrap, but cut better top to bottom. Cover stock not as white as the Toth copy, especially along the edges. Deeper color strike on the greens and grays, but less deep on the reds, yellows, and blues.

Mystery In Space #87

 

Cool Infantino/Anderson cover art. Twin Cities copy, tied with one other at the top of the census.

I have two pairs of comics like that where I can't decide between the two so I've just put them both in my main collection!

And the last issue of my run, and the end of the uninterrupted Infantino work on Adam Strange, Mystery In Space #90

 

Spectacular cover art.

 

[BB-Gun]

It is still one of my favorite titles. I like the pre-Adam Strange years as well.

Yep. I'm pretty sure that won our SA DC cover contest a year or two back.

Great Books, all of them

 

Not sure exactly where MIS stands on the scale of respect for covers, probably less than it deserves.

 

another high grade early cover

 

 

its actually a one page story where the radio guy on the end of the winch says "please say again that" but by then its too late and they die. From the huge meteor. The meteor that hits them.

 

[comicjack]

Those MIS covers are great ,wonderful stories with great cover art with some of my favorite artists.
