A Centaur a day...Funny Picture Stories 2/5 upgrade 4 4

[G.A.tor]

If you all like these , and are not familiar with the title, the next few are outstanding as well!

[comicnoir]

Amazing mystery funnies v2,#2

 

This is another very difficult issue to locate. In fact, the first 10 issues of this title represent about the best examples the publisher has to offer. Highly recommend them to anyone!

 

 

My old copy.

 

I regret selling it. Maybe someday it will wing its way back to me.

 

I love this cover it has it all (color, composition, the girl, the bizarre masked villian, the sense of horror) and there is nothing like it.

 

Add that its impossible to find and a very early Everett with that monster Everett signature and it puts it over the top.

 

I use to own one. Not for very long.

Does anyone have a V2,#2 they want to sell me?

Amazing mystery funnies v2,#3

 

Another toughie. I used to own the jaquet 9.0 mock up copy but this is my first complete copy and only one I'd ever seen for sale at time of procurement

 

[pmpknface]

There's just something about those green / yellow covers I love.

Amazing mystery funnies v2, #4

 

This is the cosmic aeroplane copy. Obtained from a good boardie. I had the cgc 5.5 copy but traded it a few years ago to centaurman , as it was one of the last 10 or so he needed to complete

 

"Sand hogs" is what most collectors refer to this copy as!

 

[comicjack]

Seems to be a hot book lately and always loved the cover on that one

[pmpknface]

So cool....

This is my favorite Centaur. Who is the cover artist? One of the greatest non-superhero comic covers of all time IMHO.

My old copy again. At least I was able to upgrade this one.

[RareHighGrade]

Loving these covers Rick. Keep 'em coming!

Who is the cover artist?

 

I don't think anyone knows for sure, and GCD lists it as "???".

 

Always looked like Gustavson to me.

[sacentaur]

The Sands Hogs story was drawn by Gustavson, not so sure about this cover.

 

Part 1 is in this issue, Part 2 is in the next issue (AMF 2/5).

 

The entire story (12 pages) is reprinted in Amazing Adventure Funnies #2, fyi.

[sfcityduck]

The coloring on that cover is amazing. The color gradations on the helmets, the almost abstract/modern colors to signify the dirt flying ... it's really ahead of its time. I can't think of any other covers from this time period that look like this. The Everett covers are cool, but very of their time (even a bit crude). This cover is something else.

[Straw-Man]

it is so darn cool.

Amazing mystery funnies v2,#5

 

Maybe the most desired issue of the entire run. Again, fortunate that a fellow boardie was kind enough to part with this copy. From the cosmic aeroplane pedigree.

My favourite! Great book Rick

I remember being down at one of the SD Con's back in the early 90's and Pat Kochanek was raving about the Church copy of this book.

 

Apparently he thought the red, blue, and green color combination really brought the cover image to life. He stated that he always looked for these brighter colors in his comic book covers.

[PreHero]

First 9 issues of AMF have some incredibly cool covers, including my favorite - V2#4 (though there's a later FP that's close). Nicest #4 I've seen - that's a tough book among a run of impossible books!
