Scrooge Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Great book, Jeff, especially since it is the only issue in the run with a cover by Calkins. His name appears on #1 but apparently it was actually drawn by a young Tuska, and #3-#6 were drawn by S. A. Douglas. That makes #2 the best issue in the run as far as I'm concerned. Rich Thanks Rich. It's definately my favorite cover of the run and the one that I most wanted to have a really nice copy of. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but I love Calkins quirky style and awkward anatomy - it's so pre-Golden Age. Art like Calkins's can easily be "pardoned" so long as the stories hold up ... do they?

Theagenes Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I enjoy the first few years of the dailies. I haven't read much of the Sundays, even though I like Yager's art better - never got into the whole "Buddy" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've had them all for a while but I've been upgrading when I've had chance. I'm trying to get 2-6 in 7.5 or higher, so I now I just need to upgrade the #5 and I'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHigh Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I got shut-out on my CL bids last night, but was pleasantly surprised with this package that I just got back from CGC today. The cover colors and page quality on this copy is very nice. — Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
