jimjum12 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Let's give Lois some coverage here: Schaffenberger (sp) Lois books are some of the most overlooked and under appreciated comics of the whole SA...... just fantastic stuff....... Big Head Lois In Vegas is one of the coolest comics of the 60's GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Ah yes, big head Lois in Vegas...a favorite if mine as well: .... a lot of thought went into the DC stuff from this time frame...... I suppose this was before Weissinger's success caused him to devolve into a fat, oppressive, redundant slob......

My daughter got quite the laugh out of similar books I had when she was told that "Three Part Novel!" meant that the story took up the entire comic.

Dr. Love Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Here's another Swan. Another few issues (#34) and then the tale of the Two Curts really begins. I love Kurt #2, don't get me wrong, but I think Curt #1 was at the epitome of refining his own Lois with this cover. And poor Lois was usually on the shaky end of the eternal triangle. So funny! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Another cool Lois: Gorgeous book, Danny. Over the top. That shade of green against the DC orange is fantastic. Rays coming out of anybody's eyes really got me off as a kid. Here's Swan coming back with a sweet cover after Kurt's big bubble debut in #25. I got a big kick out of Supes chillin and grillin with the vissin. And Lana lording it up over Lois...again! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Here's one of my favorite Lois/Lana covers to add to the theme. It's funny, as I just always assumed this was a Kurt Schaffenberger cover, as that Lois is a dead ringer for his style. I looked it up, and it turns out it is Curt Swan...but inked by Schaffenberger. Good stuff. Edited June 17, 2016 by tomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I made a comment in Paperheart's thread about how much I wanted a book he had but that the funds just weren't right, and low and behold, it showed up at my house today.... courtesy of a very cool boardie who bought it for me...... When I was a kid in the mid 60's, my Aunt pulled up one day at my Grandma's house and called my cousins, my sister, and me out to her Chevelle and popped the trunk. It was filled with comics that her students had donated to send to troops in 'Nam ..... but it turned out that shipping was WAY more than she could afford, so she gave them to us. We each got a stack about 2 feet tall, and many of those books are burned into my memory to this very day. Action 344 was one of them. I couldn't read much then, so my Pop read them with me...... they made me want to learn to read. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Edited September 22, 2016 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you will treasure it as a keeper. Every now and then I'll see a book that I first saw in that stack and haven't seen since..... usually the D.C. titles..... as I don't think there are any SA Marvels that I haven't seen again. I still remember seeing a Metamorpho cover in the pile all those years ago..... I think it short circuited my young mind, it was so bizarre..... but after that day, I don't think there was any way that I could have turned back from this life long love of the comic book medium.
