Bill, I'd really like to collect those early Heroics but they are notorious for being brown/brittle on the inside. I know you're a "paper" guy like me, so how do the insides measure up on these copies? STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a light tan, some are cream colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Everett covers... maybe not my favorite cover work from him in that period, but still, they are Everett covers!! Besides, they all contain Hydroman Everett stories, which are worth the price of admission. Gorgeous condition too. The only HERIOC I own is a beater #6 I got for $45, which has an incredible "alligator wrestling" cover by Everett! Great interior art. Are you aware of the painted Everett covers from that run (#62 to 64)? Does anyone own those? Would love to see a painted Everett cover (larger than the Gerber postage stamp size)!! Nice work Bill!

Filter81 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 WOW nice book! Any chance we could see a closer picture? Is this the copy Metropolis had for sale recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatEscape Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Surfer, Great book! Is this from ebay seller "popscomicsbooks"? You know, the secret-warehouse-filled-with-GA-keys-in-Las-Vegas seller... If so, this may legitimize this seller whose auctions have always been clouded by skepticism.

Silver Surfer Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Wow Surfer What an awesome book. Did you sell your undercopy? Yup. My under copy had both a detached cover and centerfold. This book still has a detached centerfold but shows real well and has white pages. I don't think Metro sold this copy? Actually I was going to buy Metro's copy (which I think was raw) but the timing just wasn't right for me and then they threw it in an EBay auction with those other More Fun's they purchased/consigned.

Hey Adam you never know, might trade it for a MMC#9 one day. An upgrade from here could get very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are file copies out there for Famous Funnies and they don't have the kind of blinding white pages that sacentaur is always showing us, darn him.
