Wow!  Those are gorgeous.   On an unrelated note, I think this alien on the cover of #73 is hilarious

Are you going to get all 101 issues graded?  That would be awesome

This is the last of my TTA run. I'm a fan of Sub-mariner so I tend to buy better condition copies with him in it.

I still am missing quite a lot of issues. I am trying to put a run issues 70-101 of just pedigree books. Think I'm missing 4 atm. I am a big subby fan so when I got back into comics the first thing I did was put his run together. It was pretty easy so for a challenge thought put together a run of just pedigrees. Started that in 2007 and still going.

Here is a group shot of my TTA pedigrees. As you can see I still pick up the odd issue before Sub-mariner starts.

I put my mid grade run together because of the Hulk.  This cover is one of my favorites.  The story was reprinted in a pocketbook in the 80’s that I had as a kid and I’ve read it a million times.  You’re making me jealous and I want to spend money right now.  Curse you southerncross (just kidding)

Kidding aside I really dig the TTA title.

I love the early monster books. The Ant-Man and wasp stories are ok. The subby and hulk stories are real fun reads and the covers are real cool.

You know, I read almost all of the books that have been posted back when I owned the TtA and ToS Masterworks. But I just never get tired of seeing these covers.

I'm confused -- did they use the same image on the cover as the splash page or is this splash from a different book entirely?

Also-- what is keeping that enormous monster from falling to the ground? He isn't on a ledge. (I"m just being picky now--- I still love the cover/art)

It's from the same book.

Either the splash was swiped to dupe the cover or vise versa. That monster is from the 6th dimension so they have gravitational powers
