So unrealistic though - a story about Russians acting aggessively toward their neighboring countries? How nutty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Cosmic Aeroplane copy (National 5) Maybe you can figure out what is up with the skull on the right side. It's a lampshade on the desk, and the baddy is reaching around it to ax our hero (look carefully in the eye sockets and you'll see the faint traces of two light bulbs).

Can't really see detail in the eyes from the scan but I'm sure it shows better on your copy. IIt's certainly a better explanation than I can come up with but it's still a pretty weird staging of the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardo Numspar Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I posted this in the original art forum, but I thought it fit here as well. I recently won this great Golden Age cover and interior pages on Ebay. It is from the 1952 Harvey political comic "Strong for the People" It tells the story of Dave Strong, a socially aware and patriotic young man from the midwest who gets elected to serve as a representative in congress in Washington D.C., where he learns about the legislative process and sponsors a bill which gets passed into law. The last page has an appearance by Uncle Sam. Each interior page came with a hand painted color guide with editorial notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind words. I am an addict, and need some serious help. :insane:This Harvey pickup is one of the neatest things I have found for da coleccion. The cover and artwork is by Al Avison (who did most of the work for Harvey during the time as well as some Cap work for Timely a litttle bit earlier). If I could only find the missing pages I will complete my first full OA golden age book. However, I doubt the pages still exist or they would probably have been kept together with the 13 pages I just purchased. You never know though. The odd thing is this book is not listed in OSPG or GCD. Does anyone know anything about this comic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
