Thanks for your splendid compliments, Nick.  I am truly appreciative and humbled by your kind words taking into consideration the impressive collection you are the caretaker of😉

Nick, few people know me as well as you do and this is the main reason that I covet your thoughts so much and consider you such a glorious friend😎 

I appreciate your kind words, George.

A great many thanks, Amir.  I am flattered by your approval😎

No doubt about it, Ray👍

I totally concur with you, Michael!

Brian, I strongly disagree with your comment, my friend;-) While Mac Raboy's cover to "Master Comics #21" is more iconic, his cover to "Master Comics #22" is far more historically significant because it is Raboy's "Only Bondage Cover" which also features the "Very 1st Cover Appearance" of "CMJ" in his Fawcett Comics 3-Part Origin; who was the "1st Solo 'Non-Sidekick' Teenage Superhero" and is still beloved as an active member of The Marvel Family in the DC Universe almost 80-Years later.

Yes, indeed they are safe, Sam.  I really value the fact that an experienced collector like you can appreciate the "APF #s 1 & 2" covers on a similar level since this particular underground comix series has very personal meaning to me:-)

Thanks for your very kind comment, Jerry.  While seeing Raboy's "Flash Gordon" Sundays up-close-and-personal are a sight to behold, gazing upon his "prime period" Fawcett Publications' "Master Comics" covers featuring CMJ are truly breathtaking:-) 

A great many thanks, Michael:-)  I am glad you can appreciate the "Air Pirates Funnies #1" cover art:-)  I hope you like the "Air Pirates Funnies #2" cover art just as much since this is literally the first time in fifty years these two historically signicant covers have been together side-by-side;-)

Thanks so much, West:-)  I hope that other CAFers will eventually respect and value the "Air Pirates Funnies #2" just as much as you;-)

I am happy that you took the time to read my entire tale of "The Air Pirates" and you enjoyed it as well, West:-)

Thanks for your kind comment, Nick.  You can say that again, pal:-)

Thanks, Mark.  I totally agree with you.  An actual movie "NOT" a documentary about "The Air Pirates" would be awesome and I'm sure it would do great at the box office and/or HBO Max;-)

Thanks so much for your very kind words, Marc.  I completely agree with you!  While I have always been a big "men and women in tights and capes" kind of guy, I have also always had a huge fondness for "Count Dracula" and all of his vampiric kin, so this cover really spoke to me when I had the chance to score it since I vividly recall buying this "Mad House #95" off-the-stands back-in-the-day.  All bull aside, I too feel that this cover art example is one of Gray Morrow's strongest pieces he ever rendered, period;-)

I completely agree with you and really value your opinion, Ray:-)

Being the guy that has Gray's "Mad House #95" cover art, I am especially happy to see your "Chilling Adventures in Sorcery #5" cover art, Greg:-)  You have great taste!

Being the guy that has Gray's "Mad House #95" cover art, I am especially glad to see your "Mad House #97" cover art, Len:-)  You have great taste!

This is truly a beautiful painting, Wayne:-)  You have great taste!

Great piece and a great story behind it, Ray:-)  You have great taste!

Being especially fond of the classic monster movies of the 20s, 30s, and 40s, I find these especially cool but at the same time intrigued because I have no clue why Gray would have rendered these unless he simply did them for fun since these drawings are "supposedly" unpublished.  Great addition to your collection, Jonathan:-)

Being the guy that has Gray's "Mad House #95" cover art, I am especially impressed to see your "Monsters Unleased #1" cover art, Marc:-)  You have great taste, pal!

I appreciate your compliments, Daryl:-)  As great an artist as Bernie Wrightson was, he was equally a wonderful human being and is immensely missed.

Daryl, thanks for your very kind words about my “DC Special Series #15” cover art by Marshall Rogers (SUMMER 1978) and about my art collection in-general:-)  Being a Batman fan too, I can truly appeciate many of the cool examples you possess as well:-)

Thank you for the kind words, Michael.  Not only was Gray Morrow at the "Top-of-his-Game" when he was doing some serious multitasking for the Red Circle Comics line, but the very limited number of Red Circle Comics cover art which has surfaced as these beauties are pretty rare; were illustrated "Twice-Up"!

Since I know how much you covet the "Bronze-Age of Comics," I am especially happy that you like the “DC Special Series #15” cover art by Marshall Rogers but also that you consider my cache of collectibles contains a "World Class Art Collection":-)

Thanks for your kind words:-)

Thanks, Ruben.  If you ever think you'll be at a show on the East Coast someday; if and/or when conventions fully resume, please feel welcome to let me know and I'll bring the "DC Special Series #15" cover art as it looks even more impressive in-person:-)

A great many thanks for your kind words, Mark.  I am very happy that you appreciate the beauty and rarity of a piece like Charles Clarence Beck's "Whiz Comics #19" cover art:-)

Michael, as stated in my official description for this very special and ultra rare piece of comic book artwork, this is Jack Cole's only example of Golden Age "Super-Hero" artwork known to exist, and as an added bonus it is "Hand-Colored" by Jack Cole as well.  So while Cole's original art is quite scarce to begin with; outside of his single panel cartoons published in Hef's "Playboy Magazine," his actual "comic book work" is essentially nonexistant except for "JACK COLE's Hand-Colored" Title Splash of Daredevil Vs. The Claw from Silver Streak Comics #10 (MAY 1941)."

It's yours if you honestly want it, Michael;-)

Nick, thanks for your wonderful comment about this specific page but getting these autographs on the "PAGE 3" was a piece of cake unlike the time, effort, and money invested into getting "ALL 10" of the signatures on the "PAGE 2" from "Cherry's Jubilee #3" by Larry Welz (1993);-)

The feeling is mutual, Marc:-)  Thanks for your very kind words about my

"JACK COLE Hand-Colored" Title Splash of Daredevil Vs. The Claw from Silver Streak Comics #10 (MAY 1941)" and please feel welcome to contact me if you ever wish to chat about anything even it is not about comic art;-)

No doubt about it, Michael.  The "Alarming Tales #2" cover art is by Joe Simon.  Nice pick-up, pal:-)

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:-)

Thanks for the kind comments, Nick.  Yeah, Charlie Biro was truly one of the early masters of the comic book medium.  When Jerry Robinson was still alive and we would get together to talk on social occasions, he would always speak very fondly of Biro's artistic talent and of being just a good person overall.  They were very close friends when Jerry worked at Lev Gleason Publications.  Biro's 'hand" was always steady and consistent throughout his career and this "Boy Comics #102" cover art looks equally as impressive as his work from the Early 1940's.  But the coolest thing about this specific cover art is that it is really "HUGE" being that the Image Size is: 13¾” X 20¾”!!!

Even after some forty years of seriously collecting and possessing some truly significant examples, I can easily exclaim that Mac Raboy's "Master Comics #27" cover art is my "All-Time Favorite" piece I own and I am very happy that there are others such as "YOU" who feel similarly as me, Phil:-)

Michael, this "Speed Comics #44" cover art was most definitely penciled and inked by Al Avison.

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:-)
