Ah, sorry. Didn't know you were in HK.

Some top quality art criticism in this thread.

How can you be sure then that the dealers are wrong and CGC is right? And do you not have your own eyes and judgement? What do you think of the condition of those comics? And isn't that all that matters? I agree. Anybody else's grades be damned! But why then do you keep sending books to CGC at great personal expense to get their opinion? And why all these posts focusing on grades and grading? Why don't you comment on these actual comics themselves? What do you like about the stories, artwork, etc?

If this is still available, take. Thanks.

I'm not sure of anyone who would be able to facilitate something like this. However, Felix Comic Art has had some color guides for sale by Otomo on his site. I'd bet that those pages came from Steve Oliff though, from when he was coloring the manga for the US release. He's the only link I can think of between Otomo or anything related to Akira. Good luck with your search though.

Sorry to cause a stink for nothing. I knew there was a chance I was wrong.

Wow.

The late 40s to early 50s issues of Star Spangled are some of the most enjoyable comics around. Adventure of the same period is also highly underrated. Really, all the anthologies. Folks just don't seem to care about the back-ups. Me, I love them also. Especially Vigilante, Shining Knight, Robot Man, Wildcat, so many!

Is it a good sign or a bad one when you read Mike's notes & can't see the defect mentioned?

The "Tomorrow's Stars Appear Today" ad was on the inside front cover of many/most DC comics with a cover date of June 1962 such as this one: This was the ad on the inside back cover of those issues: This ad's first appearance was on the inside back covers of DC comics with a cover date of February 1962 such as this one: Two things to note though. First of all DC's claim of "For the best in comics entertainment" was probably dead-on accurate at the time. Dell had self-immolated by raising the price of its comics to fifteen cents in December 1960, Archie and Harvey had much more limited product lines targetting a generally narrower demographic, and Marvel wasn't putting up much of a fight yet. The Fantastic Four had gotten their uniforms only that same month in issue #3. Secondly Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, the Fox and the Crow, and Sugar and Spike are all featured but Wonder Woman is not despite her status as one of DC's iconic characters! Editor Robert Kanigher was of course busy running the Wonder Woman title into the ground at the time. He wasn't sure who made up his target market so he tried to target everybody and ended up missing them all. Neither did already legendary war hero Sgt. Rock appear in the ad. I would have replaced Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis with Wonder Woman and Sgt. Rock. This message was on the inside front covers of the DC comics cover dated February 1962: Very sad. 'Nuff said.
