Marvel Westerns (Silver Age) 7 7

[KirbyJack]

I have the same problem. My first exposure was in Mad, and the illustration work he did for ads, magazines, posters, etc. When I read his EC stories, I struggle to take them seriously.

 

I have no problem taking Davis seriously. His E.C. war stuff cured me of the "Mad" syndrome.

Wow, great cover that I don't think I've noticed before. That's one of the things I love about the Marvel Westerns... fun stuff that I haven't seen dozens of copies of.

 

A two day early Christmas gift.

 

A nice copy of Gunsmoke Western 50 that presents extremely well. OSPG mentioned Kirby art inside, but there is none. Still a great cover and book.

 

 

The Davis cover is a nice consolation for the lack of Kirby inside. Did he do any other Atlas covers?

Did anyone here buy the Kid Colt 100 for $22.50 on eBay last night? I thought about as the price seemed pretty good.

[KirbyJack]

Missed that one!

What was the condition of the Kid Colt 100?

Looked to be a 2.0 give or take. It was low grade but affordable given the prices being asked lately.

Just to bump the thread. A modest KCO from the newsstand of June 1964.

 

 

 

I didn't see the glue/syrup stain until scanning a week or so after purchase (upper right back cover).

 

I bought this a couple of months ago and kept it out of my collection because I was kicking myself for being careless in examining the book. But as time passes, I am coming to like it more and more as the cover colours are fresh and unbelievably glossy -- the pages are white.

They are indeed! Sharp looking book!

Indeed...like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. I am boxing up things to move and clearing under the beds and closets...and among the "junks", there are a few nuggets.

Can someone explain to me how Rawhide Kid # 50 has 25 9.8's and 34 9.6's ?

 

Who was hoarding all these ? and what did they do with the issues before and after ?
