Timely Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I forgot to mention my favorite Captain America issue, #28. I just got this one at San Diego, it's a CGC 8.5. Timely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoulaid Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Those are tremendous books Timely! The covers are incredible and look so much better with big scans than seeing some dinky photo. Better still is holding them in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Ok guys, the rest of the books I will "show off" are Timely's, naturally! Here is arguably the best Schomburg-war cover of all, certainly one of my top 5, All Select Comics #1. Mine is an 8.5 Timely. I love that cover because of the heroic, symbolic scale. The massive figures smashing the doll's house Nazi castle- Schomburg was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Banner, There was a large 2 x 3 ft. poster made of the classic Capt Amer #37 Schombourg cover. Part of a series of 3 Timely posters (All Winners, Human Torch) issued around the mid-80s. Makes a great display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I have that poster framed above my computer! There are two types, the regular edition and the signed and numbered editions. Timely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecfanman Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Banner, There was a large 2 x 3 ft. poster made of the classic Capt Amer #37 Schombourg cover. Part of a series of 3 Timely posters (All Winners, Human Torch) issued around the mid-80s. Makes a great display. The posters were actually reproductions of cover recreations (without the logos) that Schomburg painted. They were Captain America #37, All Winners #11 and Marvel Mystery #66. Beautiful posters. I regretted not buying them when they came out and then got a set on eBay about 6 months ago from the guy who original had them done. Now If I had only been smart enough to buy one of the paintings way back then. ECFANMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Illustration-House on the East coast sometimes auctions off Schombourg Timely cover painting recreations from the 70s. Think they are over $10k each now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
