Absolutely my man. It’s just hard to see your 43 year streak end through no fault of your own. 
That being said if you want to get your hands on great art, from one of the most honest and knowledgeable dealers on the planet, simply contact Mitch.

Actually, all of you guys worried about "breaking your streak" can rejoice, because as long as no convention was even held, your streaks are in fact still intact. You'll only be be breaking your streaks of going to the city of San Diego, and we all know that's NOT the streak any of you cares about. The streak can only be broken if the event was held and you didn't attend. Rejoice, YOUR STREAKS ARE INTACT!

Some here might like this tour of Dita's home. She really likes Pin Up stuff more than I thought.

 

Also, does anyone know the artist of this illustration? The style is familiar, like I've seen it before. But I can't find it yet. I have a few more books to check.

 

Plus from the same video series on youtube, I spotted a piece of artwork that looks familiar but I can't remember this one either. From David Harbour's home tour. My first thought was that it's Superman or Green Lantern.

 

GeneticNinja, the artwork framed here on her wall is a prelim by legendary paperback novel cover illustrator, Robert A. Maguire, which he ultimately turned into the finished cover for Emergency Nurse, in 1963. Check out the scans attached....

I don't think that's the problem though, because if you look above at the 3rd post (by stefanomjr), his scan loaded at full size and it looks to be pretty close to 1250 pixels. Let me try with one page t a time....

It's from Stephen King's The Stand, the Marvel adaptation. I actually have the scans sized to 1250 pixels tall, but for some unknown (at least to me) reason, this website seems to be keeping them really small, even after you click on the image. If you know how I can get the scan to show at its actual size, please let me know!

So, first the virus spreads quickly without anyone realizing it because nobody takes it seriously. Then, if it doesn't get contained before hospitals are overwhelmed, they'll eventually be throwing bodies into dump trucks and off the pier because even crematoriums will be overwhelmed! Do I get the extra credit, Rick?

Cool Beans, thanks!

Hey Mark,

Just want to post this so you can see that Khazano is absolutely correct and you can save this scan if you want it.

Am I the only one for who this link doesn't work? It just takes me to the eBay home page. But even when I go to eBay and do a search in the completed auctions, this page doesn't come up for me. Can anyone link me directly to the proper page?

I see the same art board was used for the next issue.

I wonder what the circle and rectangle shapes on the side are for.

Congrats on buying it, Carl. Those circular and rectangular hole punches aren't uncommon. Not sure who did them though, but I assume maybe someone in the editorial office. Perhaps they would place them in some sort of binder for the ditor to be able to flip through all the pages more easily. Just a guess though. I have plenty of pages like that.

Thanks a million! This was my first piece of OA, purchased 15+ years ago at Comic-Con. It's been sitting with me unidentified ever since.

Hey Jeff,

Here is a scan of the published page to have as "proof" of publication, as well as a scan of the cover for the issue, in case you want to hunt down a copy....

I sold this cover several years ago, best guess around 2005 or so, but can't recall to who.

I would really like to find TF 27... Something that's been in the back of my mind for a long time as one of the covers I would like to own some day.
