I swear that book was printed with a weak spine off the press. My copy is missing the back cover. It seems to always show up with back cover missing or spine split. Either way it's the front cover that counts. My favorite golden age cover of all. Again welcome to the club of owning one. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My notes from these submissions The More Fun comics is a camp Okajima (have had it raw for years). The Modern Comics got hammered for a back cover shadow, its a 9.2 in every other way (from wwcomics). The Prison Break 2 is also nicer than its 5.0 (thought it was more like a high 6), but alas foxing on the back cover... Happily, my BV40, Spirit22 and Brick Bradford all came in a grade or two higher than my pessimism had hoped (thought 5.0, 1.8 and a 4.0). So overall happy subs! path4play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks goldust40 and PUNYHUMAN!!! I'm thrilled to be part of this club for sure! The detailed line work and spectacular color scheme that Lou Fine brought to this book is just mind-boggling. And the robots! And the train! My copy has a back cover, though there's a coupon clipped out. At least the kid who bought the book was careful not to mangle the rest of it -- it's a very tastefully done coupon clipping. To your point about weak spines, I think this probably applies to a lot of the early Fox titles, certainly to mine at least. It seems all I have to do is open up my GA long box and the split grows by another half millimeter. It would be great to see your guys' copies one of these days...

Popular Post sagii Posted October 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2018 ..Another for the PRE Pre Code Superhero/horror subset, and a recent MLJ upgrade from earlier this year. So much to take in when you notice: The body with a knife in it's back, Mr. Justice rising from the body, The moving Train, the steam cloud coming from the train, the city in the background, the misty moon, the gun toting scaly green men and of course, the Woman in Red. Lots of details courtesy of Sam Cooper. PKJ, Larryw7, Ricksneatstuff and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of details courtesy of Sam Cooper. Cooper was a wonderful talent but some of his covers (e.g. Blue Ribbon 10 and 11) tended to look similar. Perhaps that was the editors choice.
