Just picked up this issue of Wings Comics #29. Its in pretty decent shape except for the hole punches through the whole book, but the price was good enough for me to overlook them, and they don't interrupt any story so its a great reader copy. This is now the earliest issue of Wings I own.

Nice grab. Great presentation and color. Been looking for that one. I'd have been all over it punch holes or not for a good price.

Just got this one back from CGC. I knew it had brittle pages but a bit disappointed with the split interior pages (which weren’t disclosed by Heritage). I didn’t notice from the page count I did either. 

Oh well! I love this one for it’s Iger signature, bright cover colors, first Mars appearance, and the scarcity!

(Also, how does CGC not recognize Zolnerowich as the cover artist? He literally signed it!)

Wow, awsome book and an Iger autograph! I haven't seen many of them. Wonder why CGC didn't note it? Probably deducted for it...

To own a Jumbo 31 is quite an achievement. Congrats. Nice looking 1.0, also I agree why no credit to Zolnerowich for the cover

This is great! She is one of the artists being featured at NYC's Austria Cultural Forum... if you click through here, there's a short interview with her and a video tour of the exhibit.

I remember meeting Ms Renee at the SDCC many years ago. A small older lady just sitting by herself. I introduced myself and explained how much I enjoyed her work. I had brought a Fight, a Planet and an early Abbott & Costello for her to sign. She graciously signed them for me. I think she liked the Abbott and Costello the most. She was pretty quiet and seemed very surprised that anyone would care “about those silly comic books I drew so many years ago”. She said she always felt she was a more serious artist but had to do comics to pay her bills. I believe this was the only comic book show she ever attended. She apparently left a couple days early. Was great to meet her and chat for a few minutes. 

Oh, I asked her if she ever met Matt Baker. She smiled and said a couple of times and said he was a “dashing young man”.
