Yup, it's signed by the bottom right octopus. Nice book

[sfilosa]

Just came in...a Big Apple copy

 

 

 

Great cover. I have the Bethlehem copy.

Basil Wolverton's Atlas stories are in a class of their own.

Very cool! Thanks for including the splash page!

[CKB]

There's a cover gallery of sorts you can get to here:

All Timely/Atlas. I only have 20MB of space there, and it's almost filled, so I'll have more scans up elsewhere.

 

Yes, if you see something you like, check my ebay store, and make me an offer.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

[AtlasT]

Great Astonishing!

 

Here's a book I've not seen without ink damage on the front cover, as if the books were assembled and stacked while the ink was still wet. Can anybody show a copy without such flaws?

 

[AtlasT]

Here's one seldom offered for sale. It contains, as Overstreet formerly noted, a "Classic" Everett story.

The White Mountain copy didn't have those problems so it's not universal. I traded it so unfortunately can't provide a scan.

[adamstrange]

Great cover and the story sounds cool. Is it still a "classic" in your view?

First time I have ever seen it, just gorgeous.

[Forbush-Man]

 

 

Nice book, Adam!!!

There is a strong VENUS feel to that book, and the Marvel Logo contributes along with the red dress and the blonde heroine. Interesting all right!

[AtlasT]

Yeah, I still consider it a classic.

 

[PovertyRow]

Yeah, I still consider it a classic.

 

Hey AtlasTea! I also consider that one of the most classic MT covers of all. Don;t think I am belittling it by comparing it to another classic, Venus.

[AtlasT]

Hey Povertyrow! I was actually responding to the question about whether I still consider the story a "Clasic Everett," even though Overstreet no longer lists it as such. I'm glad you like the cover with its Venus (who else could it be?) cover. For my money, Venus 13-19 are probably the neatest comic books PERIOD, with special emphasis on issues 16-19. I consider Everett's art in these 4 issues nonpareil. So fear not, I did not take your post as belittling in any sense.

 

[adamstrange]

Thanks for posting the splash to Spectacles of Doom! That is too cool.

 

I'm definitely going to have to find a nice copy of that MT.

 

As far as "Cartoonist's Calamity" it's If there's a finer combination of Everett story/art, I haven't seen it. There are a few stories that come close in the Atlas Sub-Mariners and there's a spectacular story in Namora 2, but I get bowled over every time I see Cartoonist's Calamity.

 

They had a nice copy of Venus 17 at Heritage and I wonder if the buyer has any idea of the stories inside.

Hey Adamstrange! Glad you like the splash, and here's page 2. Who could that mysterious stranger be? "Pleased to meet you; hope you guess my name...."
