glendgold Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 I've seen a lot of Kirby FF splashes, but I've never seen this show up before: https://comics.ha.com/itm/miscellaneous//p/7234-96003.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 This is from the era where Jack had just started inserting full-page spreads in his stories, seemingly so he'd get to the end faster. Some of them are superfluous, but holy cow this is a nice one. Twanj and batman_fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malvin Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 That Simon Bisley Lobo Issue 1 cover was pointed out to me by a couple of fellow collectors (and boardies). It definitely checks all the boxes for me. But even if I didn't wipe out my Art war chest during the last HA and Clink auctions, I would find is psychologically hard to spend that much on one piece (even though its flawed logic since adding up all my purchases will easily surpass it) Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud cloddie Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I like this better than the last BWS NM cover that went up a few years back. Curious if this will stay in a collection, or be offered up at SDCC for double like the last one. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShallowDan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Thanks for the thread - the July one was getting past it's expiration date. There was quite a bit of talk there concerning the Chamber of Chills #19 cover. I'm very curious to see where that one ends up. Does anyone know what the current record is for a non-EC pre-code horror cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, I have paid attention to the Hulk's chest hair. It debuted in Hulk 3, stuck around for much of Hulk 4, then departed again until FF 25. When those unused Hulk pencils by Kirby showed up, courtesy of Larry Lieber, it was unclear what issue they were for, as they didn't fit any known story - but chest hair forensics suggested Hulk 4. Before that episode, he waxed. EDIT and IMPORTANT UPDATE: No chest hair in Avengers 1. Chest hair in Avengers 2 and 3.

gumbydarnit Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 While it’s understandable a lot of you are fired up about Hulk’s chest hair.... I guess one could say Byrne’s X-Men art is my Hulk’s chest hair! That era of X-Men pages always kick an auction’s excitement level up a notch in my book. No, I’m not a player but I do enjoy seeing others chase after em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
