I think I found the cover model for TTA 1.....

Just had a massive downpour here and noticed this big old snapping turtle surfing down the driveway. Probably a little over 2 1/2 feet from snout to tail, tried to get a better close up but it started snapping (the neck was a bit longer than I expected!). Since I value my fingers & toes, I just let it cruise on through. The thing moved surprisingly fast, it covered the 200' to the creek in a few minutes.

If only you'd had a picket fence and he had to go through the gate!

I haven't gotten around to getting this book graded as I know it would get slammed with the small tear at the bottom. This cover is one of many favorites for me.

Welcome to the boards!

Very nice books - both of those covers are classic PHM material.

I thought I would mention that this edition of Overstreet Price Guide (#10) has a significant section in it of the history of Atlas Comics and its implosion (featuring all the pre-hero titles). It was very interesting reading. I had this guide once, years ago, and lost it. It took me forever to find which one exactly had this story (they don't exactly advertise the write-ups in them). This guide should be readily available on eBay.

Thanks! Didn't know that.

OSPG 22 has a very extensive write-up on the history of the Atlas Implosion & PHM titles as well. This is the one that really got me addicted. I will caution that several of the charts showing what issue is produced by month do have errors. I created my own spreadsheet based on this data and had to correct it over time.

Hey @KirbyJack - is there much difference between these two write-ups?
