Very effective (and creepy) cover, I like it!

Oh, wow, that's incredible!

Nice page, if you ever decide to re-release it let me know, thanks!

Nice page but the finished art here is by Don Harley.  Yeah, I get that Frank Hampson inscribed it, but the art's not by him.

Used to be owned by a guy called Howard Corn, here in the uk.  Great page!

I used to own this page, Gary.  It's actually by Hrold Johns and Greta Tomlinson.  Frank Hampson contributed finished art to the first two episodes, left Harold and Greta to finish off the story as he was busy preparing art for the follow-up adventure.

No, not the complete book, it was a complete Wood story, 'The 10th at Noon!" (6 pages).  I then went on to buy two more Wood stories from WF #s 12 and 13.  

Ah, right, they're removable - that's great!

Oh, and as an afterthought, Al Williamson swiped that bottom tier middle panel for one of his 1960s Flash Gordon comic-books.  Come to think of it, Al would often swipe from Hampson and Bellamy artwork!

Stellar example!  Glue stain removal is a great idea, but those caption boxes always went unlettered (the lettering was incorpoarted during the printing process, mechanically - as opposed the hand-drawn lettering of the speech balloons).  Looks as though you might have incorporated new (recreated) lettering on those caption boxes?  Personally, I'd have shied-away from the idea.

It's about this time when Wally's EC work began to really shine.  I missed out on the Weird Science art auctions via Cochran but a few years later, in the early 1980s, got in on the Weird Fantasy art . . . and it was with Weird Fantasy # 11 that I bought my first complete Wood science-fiction story!  Great to see Wally's work finding new appreciative owners who recognize his landmark contributions to strip-illustration!

Truly an Amazing Spider-Man page!

Really nice pages, congrats!

'Artist' description is a touch of class, Marcus, love it, lol!

Wow, that's a really nice cover, congrats!

It's actually called, 'Sails in the Red Sunset.  Really nice inking by Thayen Rich on these later stories

Really nice example, congrats!

Really good example, one of Kurtzman's best, congrats!

That's just great.  

Very memorable cover, always liked this one!

Outstanding examples!

That's really good, congrats!

One of the very best Kirby Doc Doom covers . . . remember buying the comicbook and thinking, "Wow!"  To the best of my recollection, this was owned for a long-time by a UK collector and may have been folded at some point?

Nice early one, beautifully inked by Chic Stone!

Thanks, lol!

Can you add the rest of the crossword for me, please?  ;)

Great example, congrats!

Nice page from an outstanding story, congrats!

I remember buying this issue when it came out.  Not something I'd usually go for but it looked interesting and that cover image is something I never forgot!  Congrats!

It's a nicely designed cover, I like the clarity of the image!

WTF, lol!

Who needs the movie, when you've got this!  Yeah, I'd probably prefer just to look at this, as I doubt the movie can top the painting!!

Wow!

It's a great painting.  The title lettering looks like something the Donnelly brothers would attach and might possibly look a little more effective if cropped closer to the lettering and re-attached to a mylar overlay.  Well, that would be my approach!

So that's where it is!  I was after this one myself but got the auction dates wrong, lol!

Glen Brunswick has bought this cover from you and you need to send it out to him.  Do the right thing or else be branded a deadbeat for taking someone's money under false pretences . . . i.e. Theft.

Always a privilege and pleasure to discover art in your CAF that transcends the more usual (and endless) superhero stuff that's long past its sell-by-date  ;)

Fantastic cover . . . a powerful image that works so beautifully without the need for a more usual action theme.

Very nice, congrats!

Neat Ditko example!

Chance to win . . . how?

Congratulations, Ashley, it's a great SFR/LIS cover!  Not so sure about the 'rarest of the rare' tag . . . as they're all one-of-a-kind paintings . . . though maybe rarest-of the-rare to you!  As a side-note, your grail originated from the same source as my LIS # 25 cover grail that I own.  Cool that these things end-up in appreciative homes!

Up until issie 17 of ASM, the sequential story wouldn't actually commence until page 2 . . . with the splash pages serving the same kind of purpose as the covers . . . designed to (further) whett your appetite for the great story that would follow.  Many of these splash pages are easily cover-worthy and are a joy in themselves as standalone pieces of representative art for the ensuing story.  Surviving cover examples are far and few between, so such splash pages are easily the next best things to own (sometimes the splashes are even  better than the cover illustrations) . . . and this one's a great example!

Great cover!

Great painting!  On the other hand, had it been used as an album cover (which would have been perfect), desirability amongst collectors would probably have pushed up value resulting in someone else paying a premium to own such a painting?

Real purty!

Yeah, this is my favorite story arc, too.  Even without Doc Strange, it's a killer example!

Great page.  I imagine the story was condensed so as to allow Stan and Steve to squeeze in the Human Torch story.  Maybe somewhere out there are discsarded panels from the Living Brain story?

One of the best pages from the story.  I was the first owner of the complete story which I later (reluctantly) traded away to Benno.  Sad to see it broken up, but at least more collectors get to own an example.

That's just great . . . I love it!
