divad Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 THAT is one of the toughest to find. What grade is your keeper copy? A solid 6.5. I don't have any scans (and that's a good thing). Once I scan something, I have a tendency to sell it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, you could always scan it and sell it to me! hee hee. The 6.5 is the top graded, I believe. Actually, just checked, yours is second, there is an 8.5 out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Speaking of Gargantus... Splash from Gargantus returns! Damn that's nice! Too bad I could never convince myself to spend that kind of dough on a piece of original art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Speaking of Gargantus... Splash from Gargantus returns! It's a GREAT page, but this seller has put it up for sale several times for a price of around $9,000 and nobody has bit on it. I'd be willing to pay $9,000 for a Ditko Spidey splash or a Kirby FF splash, but not sure about a pre-hero splash. I do have a nice Ditko pre-hero ghost story splash but I only paid a few grand for it. Hmmm, I need to scan it and post it up in the original art thread....if only my scanner were that big.

FFB Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Despite some mc.....it looks a lot better than a 5.0! That must be one of John Buscema's earliest pieces for Marvel/Atlas. Man, could that guy draw! It was actually one of his last pieces for Marvel during his first stint working for the company (from 1948 to about 1958). According to his biography on his official website, he left Marvel in 1958 to work in the advertising industry, which paid better at the time. He came back to Marvel in 1966 when Stan Lee made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Big John's bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Skool Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Love the Pre-Heros! I just picked up Strange Tales #93 in VF/NM cond. but will be completely happy if it is a strong VF/VF+. I`d been after this one for some time,but in a high grade and at a price in my budget.Ended up paying $97.61. I`ll let you know the verdict when I have her in my hand though.
