This is the only Marvel Pulp I have but features an image of the Human Torch in it. The original character of Human Torch was an android, an interesting character for its time. Most of the early Marvel covers were reminiscent of those early pulps.

I've been doing this for a while.. doing it mostly in upgrading through trades and resale.. I have comics no money.

Wonder why Red was predominantly the color for Timely's , yellow was occasional, but black and green even more scarce. I do like the yellow though.

great cover, I've never seen this one before

a few more yellow covers

a couple of favorite covers

Something about Subby and yellow covers..

wondered that.. The date stamp here on this Torch 8 looks reminiscent to a SF... Thoughts?

Recent upgrades, 4 out of 8...

two of my favorite PCH covers

I got to know Alex around the late 80's and at that time he had bought about 40 drawings from me from my studio, unfortunately I didn't start recollecting comics until a few years later and John grabbed all the Mile Highs from him already. I think a few also turned up at that first Sotheby's sale like the Cap 7 if my memory is right. Alex traded everything, from diamonds to African Totems to real estate. But it seemed his main passion was for American art, specifically American Naturalist landscape painting as in the Hudson River School. I wonder where he is now and if anyone here might know?

I would agree that John's Timely collection would blow even the Promise books out of the water. If graded today many would be serious 9.8's. I had the opportunity to see some of the Church copies when Alex Acevedo from the Alexander Gallery had them. He used to have his Gallery on Madison Ave. in the late 80's and early 90's. He exhibited illustration art as well as fine art then and had one of the first if not the first one person exhibitions of Frank Frazetta and H.R. Giger.

Thank you so much for those kind words. Cap was my favorite superhero as a kid... maybe because he was the only one my Dad and I could both relate to. I bought a ton or art in the early 70's but then sold it with my comics later on during college for a months rent and a couch. It wasn't until the 90's that I started collecting again with my kids. Here are a few Timely's in 9.6 in a group shot..

some from my collection, not recent purchases but I thought to share a few..
