Okay, Framers, big time Marvel horror fan here.
Been that why since the Old Days, good times I remember.
Always loved reading the Where Monsters Dwell books.
Those were fun days, filled with simple pleasure.

So when the opportunity presented itself to own an original boyhood memory,
To take me back to a world gone away, from gold days I'll always treasure.
I jumped at the chance.

The book is a stock image from the MC personal collection.
While the cover art is a recently procured Kane Frame masterpiece.

I hope that you will enjoy, and trust that it will take you back to a world gone away.
As these memories seem like just yesterday...

Meager?

Did you happen to say MEAGER, my friend???

Not even, Ken.

That book, and in particular its cover art, is absolutely in-freakin-credible!

It is an extraordinary example of cover composition and perspective done the Marvel
Way. And it was drawn by none other than Gil "The Picture Frame" Kane, the Marvel
Comics Cover Chief of the 1970s.

Although that book was the final part of the Kree-Skrull war, it is by far the best cover of the story arc.

That's right... I said it. And Neal Adams fans be damned.

Kane eclipsed the Prima Dona Adams with his masterful rendition of Golden Age greats
controlled by the powerful and masterful stance of the omnipotent comic-book sidekick,
Rick Jones.

You have a winner here, Ken.

And the beauty of it is not so much in its intrinsic resale value or CGC numerical grade
as much as it is in the artistic elegance of comic-book cover art perfection.

Congratulations on an incredible Picture Frame. That book would be a cherished
addition to any comic-book collection!

Glad you like it. \:\)

I thought that maybe my book would be a bit mundane and obvious for the specialist Picture Frame collectors here.

Agree with it being a great cover, with very dynamic composition.  Also, as you know, it was inked by Bill Everett, which fits in really well with the GA Timely theme.

WOWZERS! That is Kane at his 70s cover best.

I remember in the early 90s Conrad Eschenberg had DOZENS (ok, maybe 4 or 5)of these great Kane 70s monster covers for sale. I ALMOST picked up SPRAGG the LIVING HILL for $200 at a con. Then, being a "Kirby-Zombie" at the time, put it back when I realized it wasent Kirby. UGH...wish I had followed my first instincts. Oh well.
