You're so correct Allen. I am so envious of Jim's new cover and his whole gallery actually.

Ridiculously great golden age cover. Congrats again!!!! 8 )

Joe, Any such envy would be quite mutual, I assure you. I'm also in awe of your knowledge and artistic discernment (not to mention your relative youth :)).

My favorite MAD Comics cover! And how you got it might be the best comic art acquisition backstory I've ever read, too.

This was my favorite piece from the auction by far.

Thanks, Michael! My favorite, too, but not by far. I underbid the Blazing Combat #2 cover, which I thought was fantastic as well, and I would have bid again on it if this one hadn't been in the same auction. My congratulations to the buyer of the #2 cover.

Whoa Jim! How'd you pull this one in? So mammoth

Thanks, Tom. And thanks to Glynn Crain, who just sold it to me... again! I'd bought it from him in 2003 along with several other Wood EC SF covers, and couldn't afford to keep everything so I auctioned that one almost immediately and netted almost exactly what I'd paid him. That was before the Wood market took off. Years later, Glynn re-acquired it and when he needed funds for another purchase, was kind enough to reoffer it to me.

Awesome cover. Were the blues added later?

Thanks! Blue pencil highlights were added later by Shores or a staff artist to indication Zipatone placement during production. Best, Jim

Wow! Great to see a scan of this cover as it was originally illustrated, prior to a bit of self-censorship on EC's behalf. Thanks for posting both versions, Jim!

Wow, that is impressive, Jim! Any plans to re-create the missing text elements and/or tape removal?

Thanks, Terry. I've thought about it and of course my friend Robert Dennis is the best in the business AND lives nearby, but, inexcusably, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the prod! :)

Words understandably fail to describe the singular majesty of this magnificent work of art, its undisputed position as the greatest comic cover of all time, and the intense collector interest in your acquisition of it. Bravo.

Thanks to you, Rob, and to Dr. Stephen Ferzoco, for brokering this sale from the Frazetta family to me 6+ years ago. And thanks also for sending me this link today: http://fritzfrazetta.blogspot.com/2011/09/fraz-and-dd.html

Bob Rivard said:
Inker on this is George Klein, not Curt Swan. Also noticing that this cover shows the original "No. 9" stat, as it was originally going to be Superman Annual #9, rather than 80-Page Giant #1.

Thanks, Bob, my mistake. Just corrected the Inker name. Best, Jim

Nice cover but I bet that scene doesn't happen inside. I would buy that comic.

Picture Stories from Science #4 was never published. Maybe because they couldn't come up with a story to match the cover! :)

With the Silver Surfer # 1 cover already in your gallery, this is probably the most iconic 1968 cover and of course one the best by Big John. One little question, is it small or was it still large size ? Anyway this truly a gem James, Congratulations !

Thanks, Michel. Size is 13.25" x 20.25"

Maybe there's a story behind the acquisition of this great cover ?

Frederic, I posted the abbreviated story on ComicArt-L yesterday, as follows: Special thanks to my long-time friends, Joe and Nadia Mannarino. Lucky for me they are such terrific parents; they had just decided to buy their son and daughter a brownstone (!), so they contacted me after seeing the message string below, and sold me this little group of goodies, among others: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerynew.asp?GCat=25305 As usual, Joe and Nadia were absolutely delightful to deal with -- I can't recommend them highly enough. Please enjoy! Jim Halperin www.HA.com
