ciorac Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Here's the cover to the Amazing Stories Annual that featured Burroughs' Master Mind of Mars story. That ROCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Can we see some of the scans from PL 14? There are a lot of great Matt Baker splash panels that are just as good as the covers. BZ, That is a pretty nice splash. It reminds me of a Skygirl splash. Nice work. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEyeSees Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Here's the cover to the Amazing Stories Annual that featured Burroughs' Master Mind of Mars story. Of course, wonderful copy, BZ!! This cover is one of my favorite Paul's. Seems super tough to find in high grade!! I have seen quite a few beaters over the years, but I guess people are hanging onto their nice copies. Mine is decent, but has had the front cover re-attached. Still, I'm sure it will be a while before a better copy comes up! Heading over to Heritage to see what the last few were like...

TheEyeSees Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not as sharp or bright as BZ's copy, but still happy to own one!! Good PQ on this one. (the McGlauglin (sp?) copy at Heritage went for over $3000 last year in Fine, and it was missing a pretty large triangular piece out of the bottom right corner!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 This definately one of grails - I actually have my eye on one right now Good luck on that purchase. Are you collecting all of ERB's pulp work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 That almost looks like it was a wood cut print Sharon, I thought the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 That ROCKS Thanks, Bill. I remember you said you were collecting Amazing. Are you trying to collect the entire run; specific years; favorite covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember. It sold for almost $4000. Pulp collectors don't usually have that much money; they must have sold it to a comic collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 fine with a large piece missing? Sounds like a "heritage fine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 BZ, I would guess Burgos but I don't really know. Maybe her costume reminds me of the Torch (or is she just carrying one). bb I have a few other scans with some pretty good art by guys that everyone knows. I guess Conan isn't really golden age and the Frazetta art is a little late too. But the characters started in pulps and have a legacy. Flash is from the Harvey reprint. I have an ad for the fifth issue that only made it into limit print runs. Does anyone have an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Identify the artist of these two panels and the name of the strip. Burgos, The Last Pirate, Star Comics BB Very impressive, BB. BZ, Thanks for the applause. I don't think I would have recognized the black and white version of The Last Pirate. When he said Ey, I thought he was Canadian. Which issue is it? Is that the earliest strip by Burgos or did he do something else? I don't think I would have guessed that this DX story was Burgos. Well maybe... bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Is that the earliest strip by Burgos or did he do something else? It's the earliest that I'm aware of. Rick, Jon, Steve?

sacentaur Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Is that the earliest strip by Burgos or did he do something else? It's the earliest that I'm aware of. Rick, Jon, Steve? Do you know what is Burgos first published comic book work? I don't think it's as well documented as say, Everett. Will have to look into it further, unless someone else pops in with the answer. BZ, you sure have been in a Centaur mood lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 BZ, Did you see this Schomburg on the other site. I am always amazed at how much stuff he manages to put into one of his paintings. It looks to me like August does the planes and tanks and Alex does the human characters and the air brushing. Does anyone know if they worked that closely? This could have been a scene from Patton.
