I'm working on a custom set for the Registry. Only thing is when ever I think my buying has cooled off enough, and I begin what I hope to be frequent grading submissions , the big 3 go and auction books I want and the submissions come to a grinding halt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 CGC wouldn't recognize the Baker pencils on a story or the (signed!) Colletta cover. But they're there, dammit! Only graded copy -- not that people are breaking down CGC's doors to get these books graded. Inaflash, pmpknface and sagii 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only graded copy -- not that people are breaking down CGC's doors to get these books graded. Nice one. One Atlas clincher to another (and a cross post from today) This one i feel had Baker 'break downs' if not 'hard' pencils. The foreground figures are overwhelmingly Colletta. The women in the background don't look like Colletta's, but like Baker and they scream his St. John Romance gossip scene covers. Also the blondish girls face looks just like the panel that at @29dukedog 's avatar is from. Just my opinion (and most of you have abandoned debating this stuff with me anywho ) pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy looks Bakerish to me. Colletta seems to have inked with a heavy hand. I posted this one a day or two ago in another thread. If it wasn't signed by both of them, I could believe this one was just by Colletta. Although I admit those do look like Williamson lions! pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Sqeggs He most certainly did, and yes, i would think that one was solely Colletta. Opens the door for so many second looks... Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colletta was rumored occasionally to be on the wrong side of the law. Maybe he was in the witness protection program under an assumed name during this period.

GCD says JVJ changed the notes from what was originally Colletta to Scheuer in 2016. However, Atlas Tales attributes to Colletta. From when he took over the Atlas romance reins in 1954, all of the covers for this title starting from #61 were his - this should be no exception. Also, the clothing is clearly Colletta. His fashion sense was second to none, on par with Baker and perhaps even better. Hard to imagine he would do partial pencils. 'Nuff said! If I run into JVJ I'll set him straight.

If I run into JVJ I'll set him straight. About the only reason I can think to question the Colletta attribution is the lack of a signature. Can't be too many of his Atlas books that lack one. But who knows? Maybe he forgot to add it or maybe it was on the sweater of the crying woman and he didn't realize the sweater was going to be colored black and the signature would be covered up or .... It just seems improbable to me that this Scheuer guy was hanging around Atlas and aping Colletta's style this well without being better known. But maybe JV, Jr. has a good reason for changing the attribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Can't remember whether I posted this one before. Is there a better non-CGC recognized pedigree than the New Hampshire collection?
