Theagenes Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Outstanding! Am I right in remembering that this illo is the only work Foster ever did for comics? Technically yes - it's the only work Foster did for modern comic books. But he also did the cover of the 1929 Illustrated Tarzan Book, which is a hardcover Platinum Age comic. I'll bet BZ has one of those too, probably with the super rare dust jacket. Yes, I do. Maybe I can get a scan of it posted tonight. Awesome!

Theagenes Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 OMG I've never seen a copy with the dj before! I've been wanting to buy or make a facsimile dj for mine but I never found anyone who offers one. That is so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 You need to quit it BZ! Everything we ask for, you have. You have too much stuff!!!! Can we see your copy of the Magna Carta? Oh, and a Gutenberg Bible while you are at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Oh My!!! I have been a ERB fan for many years and this is such a wonderful book. That and the Feature Book 26 make us Foster Fanatics just melt!! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 These days the title would read: Prince Variant! Or Price Variant HAH! I agree, but backwards. Whenever I see "Price Variant" in a subject header I first read it as Prince Valiant! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Can we see your copy of the Magna Carta? Oh, and a Gutenberg Bible while you are at it! That's silly, I don't have stuff like that. However, you should ask me about the Thomas Jefferson love letters to Sally Hemings or George Washington's marked cards from the days he was off fighting in the French and Indian War. I have lots of things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocuous Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hey, BZ, do you have any Thomas Jefferson love letters to Sally Henning, or George Washington's marked cards from the days he was off fighting in the French and Indian War? That would be great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Oh My!!! I have been a ERB fan for many years and this is such a wonderful book. That and the Feature Book 26 make us Foster Fanatics just melt!! Bill As another long-time ERB fan, I have to second all of that. The Illustrated Tarzan Book is really a very cool, underrated book. For those that don't know, it reprints the first Tarzan daily strips by Foster, which adapts Tarzan of the Apes, the first novel in the series. If you've never seen Foster's B&W work, it has a different look than his later color Sundays - he's a bit freer and sketchier with his linework and often uses a lot of heavy black chiaroscuro-style, like that for which Caniff would become known for a few years later. BZ, you're obviously a major ERB collector - I'm sure you have most of the pulps and McClurg firsts and I'd love to see some of them. I'd also love to see of ERB related comics - I sure you probably have a gorgeous Single Series 20, right? How about a Large Feature 5, Hi-Spot 2, Funnies 36, etc.? I would love to see some of these if you have them and get a chance to post them. Thank you again so much for sharing your amazing collection.

That's exactly the subject line I mean, and exactly my reaction to it. Jack (I shudder to think what a "Prince Variant" strip would be about.)

BangZoom Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm trying out another scanner this afternoon. It's a freebie I got locally off Yahoo's Freecycle Group. This will be an experiment to see if it does any better than my last scanner which was a $10 flea market purchase. The last scanner always tended to make the left side of images darker than the right side, which was rather annoying. I'm assuming this scanner probably will have its own set of problems, but let's give it a test drive and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
