Beige 6,962 posts Posted November 16, 2019 Yeah,I know there's a couple of forums devoted to OA, but unless you are heavily into it then its usually only the officionado's that venture into it. So here in CG I'd thought I'd throw it open to the holy unwashed (that's us btw) If you could find it - what OA would you buy? Lets go personal choice,not for $$ like Tec #27 pages or something. Me - I'd buy this.... 3 Ken Aldred, Brandon Shepherd and Krismusic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lizards2 42,820 posts Posted November 16, 2019 I would eventually like to have some Gene Colon OA, as his work really spoke to me when I started collecting - I thought his Daredevil, Captain America, Iron Man, etc. art was really dynamic. 3 Ken Aldred, mrc and Mr Sneeze reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Aldred 11,138 posts Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) The cover choices I posted earlier are very familiar and a bit obvious, but I’d also choose this one by Richard Corben, titled ‘Night on Bald Mountain’...

boomtown 2,078 posts Posted November 16, 2019 Avengers King Size Annual #2, the classic new vs old Avengers lineups by John Buscema. I remember seeing it on someones website in the late 1990s for $10,000. I thought about shifting some cash out of my 401k to get it, but had second thoughts. Sigh... 2 Unca Ben and Ken Aldred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
