Scrooge Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Congrats on the Tarzan. That looks like a sweet copy of a neat book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Having just picked up my first LF (issue 8, Tracy, Larson copy), I now know how very cool these big books are. Tarzan/LF 5 would have been my first choice, but alas I could not locate a copy (not even in the Central Valley haul, which did not have this particular issue). Anyway, congrat's on the grail LF 5, Jeff - great book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks guys! Congrats on the Tracy, Steve! This one is far from Larson or Central Valley quality, but it's a nice solid copy -- and it was in my price range. BZ, With your amazing ERB collection, I'm surprised you don't have one of these. I bet you have an awesome Single Series 20 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd already posted a pic of my SS 20, but perhaps not. Maybe it was in one of my slideshows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 This just came in the mail today -- another personal grail acquired! You know, I knew the Large Features were oversized, but I had no idea they were this huge -- it barely fit on my scanner. I don't have a mylar big enough for this thing! Jeff love it!

Theagenes Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 1939 - reprints the first Tarzan dailies from 1929. Right -- it's considered by most to be the first Tarzan comic book. The 1929 dailies by Foster are actually an adaptation of the first novel, Tarzan of the Apes with narrative text below the illustrated panels. If you've never seen B&W Foster, it has a very different look to it than his work that was intended to be colored and is very cool. This same material was reprinted earlier in hardback in 1929 as The Illustrated Tarzan Book No. 1. Single Series 20, which came out in 1940, reprinted Foster Sundays and was the first regular-size color Tarzan comic book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Biggins Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Looks like a She-Hulk prototype. Very Nice books Andy. Great looking book Buck! If I knew how to use the emoticons I would be clapping. It's mine. Buck just hasn't learned how to use the quote function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was actually NOT sniped in the last seconds, which I would have bet money would happen. I looked like this guy - - when I realized I wasn't sniped. I love the war-era Rip Carson stories also.

I was reading mine today and in it you find the story that transitions Rip Carson from his military days to the Risks Unlimited days. The boys are about to be demobilized (there's a reference to how many points they've earned which meant they could go out early) and see their old plane that has already been decommissioned but was being used for crooked purposes. They foil those plans and get hold of the plane and set up as Risks Unlimited. It's very nice to see the continuity put in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 4 are now high on my want list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
