DescriptionAmos Rusie for Christy Matthewson, Rocky Colavito for Harvey Kuenn! Sometimes you give up something you love for something you love more. My buddy Dave Mandel and I made one of those great trades. See his gallery for what's missing from mine!As a wee lad of single digits, My Mum had to sing me to sleep after I saw The Creature in the movie theatre. It still sends chills down my spine. And Arthur's GN was just magnificent! Social/Sharing |

Congrats on the big trade. I don't know what you gave up, but this is one of those pieces I'd trade almost anything for. One of my all time fave Art Adams pieces!

An Art Adams Classic! As much as i loved his Marvel work during this time, the artwork on this book was really something special. Congrats.

You lucky guy! This is a classic! Arthur draws "THE" Creature. This entire story was/is a piece of sequential art. And am I the only one who gets a giggle from Arthur's use of a Marvel page; and making it a Dark Horse page?

One of my favorite series of films as a youngster and a beautiful illustration by Arthur. Very nice Jim!

HUGE congrats, Jim! I was just looking through your Art Adams pieces, what a collection! I thought the last page to this book was nearly impossible to beat - boy, was I wrong! If Adams had never drawn anything after this issue, he would have been legendary in my eyes! CLASSIC!

With so many speculators entering our hobby solely for profit, it is admirable to see two collectors make an honorable trade like this. Cheers Jim and Dave and enjoy your new covers:-)
