selegue Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Awesome! Is the guy with noose on his neck supposed to be a self-portrait of Fritz? It seems like I read that somewhere. Same haircut. If it's not him, it's Dean Martin. Jack is that Jerry with the branding iron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 That's really cool. Congrats Thanks! I'd like to give Matt a big kudos. I know he takes a lot of heat on these boards, but personally I was very pleased with his work. This was the first time I had dealt with him and I thought he was very forthcoming and professional - a positive experience all around. Matt takes heat for views, but I think you'll find that your experience matches his professional reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Nice books. The Tarzan looks a LOT better. I am happy with this one. "D" copy and a Frazetta cover. Outstanding!!! What a great cover, and a lot cheaper than the comics with his sci fi covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Outstanding!!! What a great cover, and a lot cheaper than the comics with his sci fi covers. You can see it in person tomorrow, though it will be like a candle next to the sun when compared with Win's books. Yes, this one was a bargain compared to his Sci-Fi stuff. It was maybe 1/4 the cost of one of his Famous Funnies issues in the same grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D copies like this one are often very appealing in terms of color and gloss -- I am definitely looking forward to seeing it on my visit!

Not so much, probably CR/OW. The back cover also has some foxing (surprise, surprise). Still, it has the eye appeal of a 9.0, so I am very happy with it.

Yeah, seems to be par for the course with D copies...not that I have much experience with owning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBEE2001 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I got this back from CGC today. I thought it would come back with a higher grade (don't we all). Still, it's the 3rd highest grade to date: I also got this off Ebay for a great price. Highest graded copy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBEE2001 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Who knows? My scanner makes the colors look too faded. The actual cover is a very rich, dark blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I went to a pulp con today with Adamstrange, Centaurman, Moondog and Klozd24seven. Only bought one cheap pulp, but I did find this beauty for a decent price. This was the number one book on my wantlist....can't believe I found it there. The colors and perspective on this cover are just outstanding. Easily a top 5 Fine cover in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
