these books will only come to the market if i were to upgrade.  if not they are untouchable.  i have a few really great pre-robins that would be on this list but if the demand continues at the current rate the $$ we could be talking in a few years may honestly be hard to pass.

Glad to see this book made someone else's list as well :)

I have wanted a copy of that Foxhole for a long time. That whole short run is so awesome, but so tough. 

The Lovers' Lane is amazing. It's like the 1950's itself is gently punching me in the face when I look at that cover.

I also think it is the most subtly suggestive cover in comics.

+1 just going to say that myself - the one shoe off, the skirt showing are pretty edgy for the time in a very subtle fashion

compare with Baker's streetlamp pro in GCE 12

you want them both - one's a little more affordable - if you can find a nice one!

 

btw technique wise - the draping pencil work on the skirt and especially the guy's jacket arm are fantastic.  Fuji painted cover!  :luhv:

Cool idea for a thread Rick

I had no trouble thinking of 3 but after that, it's all a blurr. I would post the 3 but can't get the photobucket thing to work right now so you will just have to wonder.

I would probably have trouble narrowing it down to 5 short boxes...

Sounds like you got the same problem I have.

These are so darn neat!! I love em all!! 

Thanks. (thumbsu  I'm the only person on the entire planet with these 5 books.  Over the past 8 years I've sold all my other ashcans - but not these.
