spillred Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Some of my favorite Ec's One of the Boardies used/does own the original art to this cover. It's a fantastic piece by Wood. I just saw that piece listed on Mike Burkey's art site...already on hold.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Got a new book today that I've been searching for, for a long while Hangman #7 I'm not sure if this is as scarce as it seems, but it took a very long time to find one, and there are only 4, that includes unrestored and restored, 4 total on the CGC census. Now I don't collect Hangman or MLJ comics, so why did I really want one of these you may ask. This is why: Now it can be argued that Hangman was certainly a poor knock off of Batman. And this cover swipe certainly is interesting, right down to the bats in the background identical to the 31. Pretty neat. (Btw isn't there a cover swipe knock off thread of covers some where? ) Very, very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I added these three Speeds this week. Very nice PQ on them. I have a couple Speed Comics, and plan to go after them more aggressively one day, due to Black Cat. But I've got to finish Dick Tracy first and the Black Cat run. Plus, the Speeds can be quite expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerKid Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Lower grade, but I always love when I get GA for my niche. Two of these I wasn't aware of until I saw them up for sale. (WorldWide comics came through with the Cosmo Cat and the other two were from eBay.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockman2008 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 The omnipresent figure in the background has been used forever, before the invention of comic books. Call it a motif. The two covers below are even closer in design ideas...but I wouldn't call them swipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-Man Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 The omnipresent figure in the background has been used forever, before the invention of comic books. Call it a motif. The two covers below are even closer in design ideas...but I wouldn't call them swipes. Great cover and book! I want one! I fully agree with the "motif." And I know Tec 31 was not the first of all. And I know it is "arguable" but I feel the Hangman #7 surely took some nods from Tec 31. The moon might make you wonder. But the Bats in the background on the 7 seal the wonderment to me.

rockman2008 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 OK, I see what you mean. The placement of the moon, the bat. There's actually some weak pretense of fog vapors in the interior of Hangman's cape. And the elongated corners of the cowl. The artist might have been inspired by Tec 31...

We'll never be able to "prove it" but all signs point to yes! I love the figure in background covers. Any other good ones off the top of your head?
