Larryw7 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 A kid might pass on it because they thought they already had it since it looks like every other Timely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not have the legal chops, but if you need a doubles partner in this Timely tennis match with Pons and Red Fury, I'm prepared to go to court.

Didn't say they were bad covers Billy. Just very similar. Very similar in composition, details and color. Even a jury full of Timely geeks would have to agree with the argument.

ciorac Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Maybe this will help a little. Incredible collection West to be sure. One I'd be proud to own. But yes, it does help illustrate my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) And also, at long last, I managed to obtain a copy of this beloved book Funny Picture Stories #1. Such an early GA book (1936), with one of the, if not THE, first masked heroes on the cover. Edited July 26, 2012 by ciorac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Really looks like it and nice blues on the copy. Is it larger than a standard GA. I don't own any First Series so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
