boomtown Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Some randomness for sales of this book: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICRONAUTS-1-HI-GRADE-BILL-MANTLO-1ST-ISSUE-/391231528791?hash=item5b17375f57 maybe mentioning bill mantlo pushed it past $20? That was such a great book at the time. The first 12 issues stand up to anything that was being published. Golden was doing some beautiful promo pieces that Marvel was running as ads in different books & it was just beautiful stuff. Then the book comes out & it's got a generic Cockrum cover on it. I like Cockrum, but Golden was just amazing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 And it's a way cool cover. I prefer #56 . . . just sayin' Kane and Starlin were great Bronze Age cover artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Cockrum, but Golden was just amazing at the time. One of my favourite runs ever... As an aside, you should check out many of Golden's Micronauts covers while wearing the old red/green 3-D glasses... A lot of them reproduce 3-D effects, which is something I've never really seen with other artists. ... And no, I haven't been scanning my entire collection while wearing cardboard glasses... This was a topic of some discussion in the days when these were first coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are Spotlight #28's. Typo fail. I fixed it. Awesome. I couldn't get $5 for VF - VF/NM copies of that book a few years ago so I decided to not try to sell them and allow my hoard to age like a fine wine.

GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Always nice to see a Starlin Hulk. One of my favourite interpretations of the character. I dunno. He makes Banner look far too ripped before the conversion. And something about Hulk's torso bothers me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. That is just a lowly direct edition as well. I am too lazy to look, but there should be a bit of a premium for the newsstand copies, right?
