    in comic book manufacture, you had test covers to see if it was done right the ones you want to find are the wrong ones or the ones they changed the details a bit.
    if these are test covers you might want to compare them to the finished product.
    I did cover freelance work for the finish/European Disney comics (Egmond) at the end of the 1990s to 2009 and I had some come back as rejected I still have the art and the test covers if you ever see a cover with Magica de spell on her broom getting a ticket from a cop at a traffic sign that's one of mine and I have seen that one a lot it is silly and funny so they re-use it a lot.
    I also did a portrait of carl barks surrounded by his ducks in 1998 for a danish special that image pretty much went viral when barks died at age 99 in 2000.
    and, oh, yeah! tell Stephen I said hi!
    for anyone reading visit, Stephen draws on youtube!

    @michelelupo3207 4 роки тому

    Wow. Nice haul. So happy you mentioned how much you appreciate Melissa. Someone took real good care of their collection. On the boxes that are packed too tight, you might take out a handful and put them aside while you search, you can always stick them back in when you’re finished with the box. This will keep them from bending while you’re looking and trying to get them back in. They can crease very easily. Every time someone goes through a box they put a strain on the books. Boards are great, but not 💯 %. It’s great that the boarding and bagging are done! You just did that not too long ago! I love that you plan ahead. You are a very smart businessman!

      Another reported inspiration for Indiana Jones was Roy Chapman Andrews.Andrew's. Born in Beloit Wisconsin and graduating from Beloit College, he moved to New York and worked at the American Museum of Natural History. Starting there in 1906 by cleaning floors and helping with the taxidermy he ultimately moved up to Director in '34. He did extensive expeditions in the Gobi Desert (Mongolia) in the '20s. Coincidentally Roy and "Henry" shared a DEEP fear of snakes...lol.

    I saw a Bob Steele picture in your pile, he was my Mom's favorite cowboy from when she was a girl in the 1930's. He was also a regular on F Troop, the comedy series in the 1960's. She would always comment when saw him playing one of the troopers. If she was still with us, I'd be customer for that picture.

    I enjoyed watching and hearing your joy in this find. Lots of Roy Rogers. Here's a little trivia. Roy Rogers and Andy Divine were pigeon fanciers. They would come and race pigeons with my grandfather at his home in Washington, DC. I have an autographed photo of RR on Trigger packed away. If I come across it, I will send it to you! 😁

    Maybe just my issue but it bothers me to see all the lid boxes tossed aside and pulling out the comics and stuffing them back down. That is a prize collection and I would want to preserve them with as great care as the collector obviously had done. A bit sad to see a life's boxed enterprise now randomly strewn in your garage.

    Can you do a interview with the prior owner like you did with the pottery artist? It would be great to hear his story. This is an amazing collection.

      That is sad. I agree. I think that would be awesome. Even a telephone interview would be great. His work is part of history now.

      I wondered if that’s why he was selling the collection. 😕

      I’m glad the owner of the comics sold them, and they didn’t get taken by the storage company.
