WOW!!

Congratulations on another fine pickup.

Owner:

Yes - Condrad had an amazing amount of both Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko original art and he really loved the monster stuff!

Owner:

An excellent example, made all the more desirable because of the "It tickles!" panel. But seriously, what more could you want from a Superman daily? Congrats.

Owner:

Wow! What an amazing cover! Congratulations - that one is a keeper!!

Excellent! A true work of art!! Thanks for sharing.

Owner:

Thanks for the informationo on the signature. I've always been curious as to when Jack drew this. Now I have a rough idea.

Owner:

Congratulations! I considered bidding on that but ultimately declined. Glad it went to a good home.

Owner:

I was not able to make it to the Skirball opening but I went the other day and was happy to see several exceptional pages on loan from you. Great stuff.

Owner:

I have acquired several choice items from Dave over the years but this definitely did not come from him. The dealer I purchased this from sadly passed away shortly after I got this. Unfortunately, I don't recall his name but I do remember he set up at the Shrine Show often and this page went unsold for several months before I picked it up.

Owner:

I did send copies of this and a Red Skull sketch to the JKC and they used the Doom sketch in the first Kirby checklist, if I'm remembering correctly.

Owner:

Thanks. Ditko art, especially Spider-Man art, was always just out of my price range and out of reach for me, even 30 years ago when I got this. So I thought this was the next best thing.

A really fun take on those great Kirby monsters, from a really fun book! Congrats!

Great splash. I like it even more after reading it was inspired by a Kirby Monster!

Owner:

Not just trunks but a nice onesie complete with booties.

I am jealous! Great Goom sketch. Congrats.

Absolutely great page. I loved Mignola's two Thor back up stories but have never seen any art from #408. I have a page from #409, which I hope to post soon.

Owner:

Exactly! I should have just cut and pasted your comment into my description - you summed it up perfectly.

Owner:

Long ago, I had Super-Babe, too.

You have an amazing collection of Adam's work, particularly that Starfire ceneterfold - wow! 

Owner:

Thanks. I couldn't agree more.

Owner:

Wow - you couldn't ask for a nicer Human Torch page. Really great stuff, especially that last panel. Kirby at his finest. Congrats!

Owner:

Wow - what a page. A great example of Ditko's incredible inking abilities!

Owner:

Wow. Simply beautiful! Congratulations.

Owner:

Really nice piece. This guy is talented. What else has he done?
