sacentaur Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Catman Comics get a lot of well-deserved attention, but Captain Aero seems to fly under the radar - some very good Chas Quinlan art and not easy to find books, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They are picking up speed I think though. Here is one I picked up recently. Really liked the cover on this one. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I was hoping Captain Aero would stay under the radar until I finished the run. And, thankfully, I did a few months ago (well, except for the last two sci-fi issues, but I was only going after the war covers). Just my opinion, but I think it is at least as tough, if not tougher, to complete than Catman. I agree that they do seem to be drawing more attention. sacentaur and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think my radar is a little weaker than yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 So here's a precode horror cover that (appropriately enough) I had never seen before. Must be well under the radar, no? I really love the art and the garish colors. Like Chamber of Chills #19, it almost seems like it could be the art for a punk album or something.

N e r V Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 In this thread we have books some feel are still greatly undervalued and others that are just relatively cheap still. The last time I looked this book falls into the latter. I'm still convinced Kirby and D.C. stole this title for the Challengers of the Unknown book. Either way this is a super cool roommate in any PCH collection. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here have a copy? sacentaur, did you request that CGC make a note on the label "1st appearance of Archie in an Ad"? It's important that CGC recognizes that distinction. Gator told me that TN22 came out a week before Pep22. I've only been able to find a really low grade copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I've always thought this cover was a Gem. Look closely and you'll see individual body parts flying off the guys in the background. As I recall, in the interior story that corresponds to the cover, the woman doesn't get saved.... she gets her head chopped off.

If CGC ever does recognize TN 22, I'll have to get the book re-holdered. Congrat's on having any copy at all, it's brutally tough (and under-the-radar).

I think it's a super important "historic" footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
