Show Us Your Atlas Books - Have A Cigar 26 26

This one is Everett

[Jasonmorris1000000]

When I was a kid in the late 1970's, Marvel released a What If comic in which Jimmy Woo, Venus, Gorilla Man (Ken Hale), M-11 The Human Robot, and Marvel Boy (Bob Grayson) formed a super hero group.  I love that issue and since I had all of their first appearances, I sent them into CGC because I thought they'd look cool displayed next to each other.  I'm still looking for a graded 9.8 copy of that What If? issue if anyone out there has one for sale.

I'm close to completing a full set of Venus. I'm just missing the romance issues now.

Notice the label says "Marvel Comics" is that a mistake?

[Jasonmorris1000000]

1st Gorilla Man.

I've been wanting to upgrade this one, but it hardly ever shows up. When it's in a CGC holder, who cares if the cover is completely split.  Ha. Ha.

I sent this one in too just because it's my favorite Bill Everett cover.  I'm thinking about sending in my #2 and #4 eventually so that the whole set of four will be graded.

Ah, quite a contrast from, say, a Lex Luthor or a Dr. Doom.

This is a beautiful book , but I wish CGC would get their labels straight with Timely/Marvel/Atlas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there were no Atlas titles in 1948.

I think we need a comic historian’s help because I’m not sure.  This is funny.  Namora #1 came out in the same month and year and the label says “Timely”

Split or not, that is a cool cover!

This Russ Heath covered beauty arrived today! A GREAT comic!!! 

[Jayman]

There’s very few books I have a second copy of and this is one of them. Just love the Gaines and Feldstein EC connection with the “End of the Line” title. Some cool Ditko work inside too!

Fresh back from Sarasota! White pages and solo king of the hill. Anyone know who did the cover?
