Straw-Man Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Bought this Jumbo Comics #10 at the NY Con....One of my favorite covers, classic Lou Fine and scarce with only 3 in CGC census. GE that was Harley's, huh? i tried to buy it in c'town and then in minneapolis, but could never get him to move. kinda wish i'da sprung for it now, as i want all the non-jungle jumbo covers [excluding the big ones]--neat little several book run.

Another bizarre perspective special, isn't it? Mr Spaceman is throwing a spear from slightly behind himself at a dragon that's looking at the back of his head -- yet the dragon's foot is in front of the spaceman's leg! My brain hurts.

My brain hurts. Not sure I see it the same as you. Basically the beast is in the foreground and the guy is maybe 10 feet behind him and then the drawing makes sense. Your mileage may vary.

JJBEE2001 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Jjbee2001, my man, you're definitely collecting the right books!!!! Thanks! I've always been into ashcans & other rarities/oddities, but I think I've finally fallen in love with a mainstream title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Kudos to Agro for selling me this sharp looking 4.5 (graded by that other company). I'll take a 4.5 that looks like that any day. Looks better than many 6.0's I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think a VG+ is conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain hurts. Not sure I see it the same as you. Basically the beast is in the foreground and the guy is maybe 10 feet behind him and then the drawing makes sense. Your mileage may vary. In that case, the beastie is only about as big as a small dog? And that's an arrow- rather than spear-sized tip? And the beastie is looking at some undefined point between himself and the viewer, not at Mr Spaceman? I don't know why, but I just can't make it work. Maybe because I have no art training.

lou_fine Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Bought this Jumbo Comics #10 at the NY Con....One of my favorite covers, classic Lou Fine and scarce with only 3 in CGC census. GE GE; Now that's a real sharp looking book for a 6.5 F+ and a great pickup. I have been looking for one of these for years now at a reasonable price without any luck. I remember Fishler had the D copy at one time, but was asking for a really outrageous price considering the condition. What are the major flaws on this copy since it definitely looks nicer than a 6.5 from the front cover image? Did you have to pay a significant premium to condition guide for this copy? Congtars again on your pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter81 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Great book, now lets see the other 19! I'll try to post a few each day.
