cgriffith Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 20 hours ago, Frisco Larson said: I really love O'Mealia's art, particularly the handful of covers he did for DC. He has a lot of fantastic art hidden inside some of the early pre-hero DC titles too. Great grab on the Action 6!!! Yes, he definitely has done some amazing comic work; he has also some of his stuff at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, 2 pieces on display one of which recounts the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, did some Eisenhower stuff as well.

Yeah, it's great on the inside, but I'm gonna be leaving mine in the slab. It's the only one I've ever seen with straight white pages. I have a reprint of it and I'd like to pick up a restored copy to thumb up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfect and exactly the kind of copy I'd want to find! I'm not bothered by restoration at ALL, as long as it's disclosed and I like the price.

Frisco Larson Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) This one has some color touch. Some might say that it's an improvement. I'm adding a "stock" photo of a Wings 69 (I don't own the second copy) as a reference to what it actually looks like, so you can see where a previous owner did some color touch. Lots of modifications! Edited June 6, 2020 by Frisco Larson Hutch88, Marty Mann and OdinsSecrets 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frisco Larson Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 At a local show last year, an out of town dealer set up (mighta been from Iowa) and their shop had gotten in an original owner collection that was an odd mix of mostly off-beat titles, nothing really mainstream at all. Some had been sold in their store to their regular customers but I WAS able to find an interesting stack amongst the remaining inventory. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
