Description(September 1981) (DC Comics) This is the Original #1 Cover "Art" to one of the most "Iconic" and "Emulated" comic book cover images since the Bronze-Age began, and the series that completely revitalized DC's Golden-Age characters for a new generation of comic book readers. It features the classic image of Hawkman, Doctor Mid-Nite, and Atom surrounded by an abundant assortment of "All-Star Squadron" candidate photographs. Please take notice of the meticulous die-cutting accomplished around the bottom portion of the "All-Star Squadron" title which shows for the first time, the otherwise hidden photos of The Phantom Lady and The Shining Knight as well as the once covered-up left wing of Hawkman. Boldly Signed by the Creators, Roy Thomas & Rich Buckler as well as Dick Giordano, Len Wein, and Jeremiah Ordway. (10” x 15”) (Richard Buckler, Senior: 2/6/49 to 5/19/2017) (Richard Giordano: 7/20/32 to 3/27/2010) (Leonard Wein: 6/12/48 to 9/10/2017)Social/Sharing |

Nick, since I know all too well how specialized you are with the comic art that fills your proverbial Twinkie, your compliments about an end-of-era Bronze-Age cover like my "All-Star Squadron #1" truly makes me feel flattered beyond mere words:-)

Many thanks for your kind words, Joe:-) Coming from such a good guy with such an impressive collection really flatters me and humbles me greatly. The "All-Star Squadron" is easily my favorite "DC Comics" series from when I was a kid with "All-Star Squadron #1" being the most memorable comic I recall buying off the stands. Clearly, I am not the only person that feels this way since the cover image to "All-Star Squadron #1" has become so iconic that many artists have payed tributes to it in so many different ways since first being published in September 1981;-) In short, I feel very fortunate to own this very significant cover, Joe:-)

I always loved this scene with the photos all layed out on the desk. Really invited you in as a reader. And great spot for the sigs!

This comment joins the chorus of praise and awe at such a wonderful piece. I absolutly love this one. I think it deserves its iconic status. You have a fantastic eye for great pieces. Should you ever decide to part ways with it, please keep me in mind.
