The rule of the night: if you're only going to bring one book, go BIG!

This beautiful Christmas cover issue of Jumbo is the size of a placemat.  Open it up, and there's another cover inside with incredible red colors.  Mmmmmm.  Red.

Amazing.   I've never seen a double cover of any of the humongous issues 1-8.....

Cat brought an interesting selection of pulps to add some variety to the show.

This was swiped for a comic book cover.  Does someone know which one?

Tec 70 comes to mind.

There's a much closer fit.

I was going guess Tec 70, but what about Human Torch 5 with Subby driving the weird tank?

I think this should be moved into hall H next year as a panel.

I'll add another stump question to this parlay.  Can anyone guess the cover artist to this Modern Mechanix pulp?

There were three pulps on hand and I provided the artist's name at the RHG gathering (his signature was discernible on the other two issues and I'm pretty confident that it's the same artist).  Let's see if anyone can guess without Googling the answer.

GAtor shared a very select subset of his famously complete Centaur collection that included some of his favorite covers and issues.  It's hard to disagree with his choices!

I like the beard thing going on and of course that Centaur

I believe that's the best match.

Great pics as always, Adam.

BTW, do I spy an OA collector infiltrating the gathering?

You did spot "the lurker" who only stayed to see Timely share the Catman 28's.

Had a blast, as always!

Anyone game to guess the artist who painted that stunning Modern Mechanix underwater cover?

Hints:

The artist worked for other pulp publishers.

The artist worked in other genres of pulps.

The artist's pulp cover art was occasionally reused for comic covers.

C'mon guys, put your thinking caps on!
