What is the best issue of your favourite titles and why?

[Wayne-Tec]

Seems like superhero GA books are not winning this race.

My favorite Planet Comics is #35. One reason is that it has Hunt Bowman and Lyssa (Main characters in Lost World story line) on the cover fighting the Volta men, my favorite story line in the run. # 1A reason for this issue being my favorite read is that it is the first story of Mysta of the Moon, my second favorite story line in the series. Mysta's first story(origin) was actually within the Mars god of War story line and from this issue on she had her own stories. Below is a picture of my copy and a picture of the splash where she is first pictured. Just in case you might need help identifying her in the splash, which I seriously doubt, she is the blonde in the red space outfit. Also, the other stories in this issue are great too.

 

 

 

 

Reason 1B: One of the sexiest GGA covers ever.

[Scrooge]

The May 1948 issue of Airboy is probably my favorite of the run. A great Zolnerowitz cover followed by the best Airboy story ever drawn, by Fred Kida, makes it a standout in the series -

 

 

[Scrooge]

... that and the fact that she has provocative decolletage ...

 

My favorite issue of Fairy Tale Parade is # 5 as I believe it's the best cover of the run, with back cover and even the inside back cover is fantastic with Kelly paying homage to Franklin Booth. The stories inside are as varied as ever with differing style in the recounting of those fairy tales but always delightful. I include of page of the funny The Tail of Rufus Redfox. I don't know if it's Kelly or not but I like it a lot -

Great cover but intriguing interior art as well!

 

[Point Five]

Yep, those are great, Michael. I've been flirting with this title for a while now... maybe an issue or two is in my future.

... that and the fact that she has provocative decolletage ...

 

 

 

Provocative what now?

... that and the fact that she has provocative decolletage ...

 

Provocative what now?

–noun

1. the neckline of a dress cut low in the front or back and often across the shoulders.

2. a décolleté garment or costume.

My favorite issue of Buccaneers is # 21. Not only is the attraction of the cover obvious but every story inside is a solid job. I am showing pages from 3 of the 4 stories below.

 

Quality served quality in this book

 

 

[JohnT]

That IS quality! Thanks for posting those.

Excellent choice Scrooge. Buc's 21 is a gem of a book.

Yes it is

Some better scans of interior pages. Let's start with Battlefront #5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Flex Mentallo]

Wanted #52 "Cult of killers"

Tth2: "Some of the romance books you`ve posted have fantastic covers. Does the quality of the interior artwork match?"

 

"China Bombshell" from Spectacular Adventures #2 - it is an oversize issue so the artwork has room to breathe! The artist looks like Leonard Starr to me - in which case he was never better!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cover of #1 is nice too:

 

 

 

[Flex Mentallo]

"Love of a lunatic" from My Romantic Adventures #50. The artwork by Ogden Witney is surprisingly gritty:

 

 

 

 

#50 tends to overshadow #49, but that's worth catching too (Lots of zipatone in the artwork):

Just wanted to follow up on on Ace's Web of Mystery. The later issues especially feature magnificent artwork by Lou Cameron. Witness #22:

 

 

 

..and #26:

...and speaking of jungle girls, below is a sample of artwork from the issue that turned me on to Lorna the jungle girl. The Buscema cover is rather ordinary, but the interior artwork is just great! Believe it or not, this is Werner Roth of X-men fame. His work graces the first dozen issues

Michaël - Any chance of posting some of Matt Baker's artwork on Lassie here?

[Scrooge]

I believe I only have this page already scanned from 22's back cover. 22 cover is another great one IMO, just disregard the ring on my coaster copy -
