BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had an extra Wonderworld cover that I don't think I have posted before. Fox comics were great and the flame had some great art and some strange art. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The addition of Flamegirl helped to make it interesting. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 And I think Dr. Drool had to be one of the better villians. He was always being rescued from graveyards. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I liked this orange Sensation 65 cover but the thread seems to have disappeared. I purchased this from Lem at Golden Eagle (erasure at top as is). He was a pretty good guy and always helpful. I think Wally used to trade with Lem before he sold me the rest of his collection which also included this SA 24. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The Sub-Mariner and Human Torch stories in Marvel Mystery #8 present the set-up to the classic battle story that is featured in the next issue. Marvel Mystery Comics #8 (June 1940) I love the green used in the "Sub-Mariner" title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had an extra Wonderworld cover that I don't think I have posted before. Fox comics were great and the flame had some great art and some strange art. That cover didn't look the least bit familiar to me. I guess I need to set aside more time to look at my collection. Here's a nice ad for The Flame from that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I thought the origin story for Flame-Girl in WW 30 was interesting. She was a good-looking sidekick. bb But there were a lot of strange looking covers and splash panels published by Fox. And I thought that this story looked Weird until I saw a real cuttlefish. They can change colors and shape as well as blink like a neon sign. Amazing. The story doesn't do the monster justice. I think we need a gif to show what the monster really looked like.

Marvel Mystery Comics #8 (June 1940) I love the green used in the "Sub-Mariner" title. Everett seemed to use a variety of logo colors. Perhaps this represented the cuttlefish superpower that the Sub-mariner seldom demonstrated in his stories. bb Heritage scans I think from MMC 18,23 and 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I always have always assumed that the figures on this cover were photo swipes. For a brief moment this afternoon I thought I'd found the source for the man in the overcoat. Then it dawned on me that the comic was published in 1939 and the publicity still was for a 1942 film.

BB-Gun Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Great cover, BB. I'm a big fan of Peter's stylized artwork. I love the orange sky. Pun? Orange Skies Jack Thanks for the music bit Jack. I had to reinstall Windows (I needed to clean up files anyway) to get my sound card to work again. I probably lost a few important favorite websites but hopefully no other damage. The comic files are on the external hard drive. It is nice to have but I think I might need a new comic Reader now. bb Edited July 24, 2008 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
