cheetah Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I stepped a bit outside my usual run of titles but have added this to my micro-sized collection of Denver peds. A long time ago Verzyl told me he had seen the Mile High, Larson and Denver copies of Catman #1. He felt the Denver was the best of the three. That is cool to hear. This was the first copy of #1 I think I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Mentallo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks, Richard. I just wish the paper wasn't sticking out. I was disappointed with the grade but the cover on this one is great. Whoa - never noticed that cover before! (Now where's my wants list?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Whoa - never noticed that cover before! (Now where's my wants list?) Powell did some fantastic cover work for S&S ... too bad the interiors didn't always live up to Powell's standard on the cover. Funny enough on a recent podcast (iFanboy), the topic of comics covers in the current market came up: should the cover artist be the interior artist? Nothing new under the sun, eh?

Oh I don't know - straw man just introduced the term guppy to collecting terminolgy and I cant quite get the image out of my head, as in "Don't scare the guppies!"

Arkadin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Spirit tabs. Not Spirit sections, mind you - though they're wonderful. Spirit tabs are - pure and simple - the most beautiful, luxuriously huge comic books ever. Post war Spirit's are the best art and stories anyway - but at 11 x 15 inches they are comic nirvana and sweet sensory overload that you can practically feel yourself diving headfirst into. Of course, you can't see that just looking at the scans below - to really appreciate how gorgeous a Spirit tab is, you have to hold one in your hands. You have to lay on the floor (preferably on a Sunday morning) with one spread out in front of you and drink in every oversize panel of the Spirit's latest comedy / fairy tale / comic noir adventure. My latest Spirit tabs, both from 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Bought this from the for sale forum today. So it won't be here for a while. I'm thrilled to get it though, as I have a very personal connection to this book. Ruben bought it from me years ago. Apparently he had it restored as it was from an original owner collection when I had obtained it. I've been on the lookout over the years for a book from the collection and haven't found a single one until today. I recognized it by the red grease pencil markings. Some of my old geek buddies might recognize it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
