ashrael Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would have done the same. Hey, where's BZ been? Flying out to buy Frazetta OA? Who's selling? j/k ... I was referring to the Thun'da pages mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hopefully this is readable from the Amarillo Daily News on Thursday, April 25, 1940. The Germans were checking in on Superman ... and somewhat surprisingly didn't like what they saw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans were checking in on Superman ... and somewhat surprisingly didn't like what they saw! By the end of the war, Hitler was a joke. Superman fans got the last laugh. Their hero has outlived the Third Reich by over sixty years. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Cool strip, seeing Hitler in a Superman costume is unreal! Early Supeman strips are great. It is a little difficult to scan the strips due to size. Many strips like Flash and Tarzan were full pages but I haven't seen any full page Superman Sunday pages. I am happy with the halves which are still difficult to store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I notice that someone supplied scans of Smash 24 splash pages which are circus stories. Great work by Jack Cole on Midnight. I think he did some nice stuff there which should be revisited. This one is for you BZ. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 And you don't see a lot of Wildfire reprints. Mooney did some nice work on this origin page from Smash 25. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Cool strip, seeing Hitler in a Superman costume is unreal! Jay, I enjoyed that strip when I found it. I think you can buy a more complete reprint collection but I like the Sunday pages when I can find them.

BB-Gun Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I would have done the same. Hey, where's BZ been? Flying out to buy Frazetta OA? Who's selling? I wonder if anyone has the old Nedor Frazetta work. He worked on a couple of strips while he was there. I enjoyed this giant tomato story that someone scanned. bb I seem to lose the color when I edit using Microsoft. I try to reduce the size of the scan and it causes different problems. I don't think this occurs with Photoshop although my version is slow but it is more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I thought this was pretty dumb but here it is anyway. Again a freebie scan from Goldenagecomics.UK. I like the name of the strip. Haw! bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm back from our family's annual sideshow tour. I think we played every small town between here and Dismal Hollow. Magazine distribution must be rather spotty in some of those hidden valleys. I picked up these pulps off the newsstand in a country store in Skeeter Neck. Tales of Magic and Mystery edited by Walter Gibson (author of most of the Shadow novels). Issue #'s 1-5 (December 1927-April 1928). The March 1928 issue includes H.P. Lovecraft's famous short story, "Cool Air." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 ...and what about those Classic Comics. I don't see any of those on this thread. Perhaps they were too late for the Campbell Collection or they are still tucked away. Back cover to Classic Comics #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 BZ, have you heard of John Vassos (illustrator and industrial designer)? If not, I'll post some illustrations from him at a later date. Art deco illustrations!! I never heard of Vassos. However, I just Googled him and am mighty impressed with what I saw. Please post as many examples of his work as you can.
