DC Comics goes from strength-to-strength when it comes to their Facsinile Editions, with Justice League Of America #75 being a shining example of just how to produce a near-perfect replica. Nothing I can fault this one for, and it wouldn't be hard to mistake for the original comic. Definitely one to buy and keep.

I bought this Iron Man mag (#2/Lgy682) because of its cover's retro look, but didn't spot the mock-aging in the thumbnail on the dealer's site. I think it would've been better had Marvel omitted the 'weathered' effect (often seen in canvas reproductions) and made it appear brand-spanking new, but maybe that's just me.
Buy 'em now if you haven't already.
Is JLA #75 the issue when Black Canary joins the team? I assume that's her legs
ReplyDeleteAnd you assume correctly, McS. Written by Denny O'Neil, but I'd never have known (or guessed) if it didn't have his name on it.
DeleteI've got a real short recommendation for you: DOCTOR WERTHLESS. Its a GN (art by Eric Powell) biography of Frederic Wertham, and its the best comics thing I've read this year. It's so well done that anyone could read it even if one knew nothing of the comic book scare, the Code, etc. One does have to steel oneself for some serial crime stuff, because Dr W analyzed two of the worst 1940s killers, and their crimes are laid out for the reader. Worth a library read if not a purchase.
ReplyDeleteJust looked it up on eBay, GP, and am awaiting word on how it will be sent through the mail. Thanks for the tip, though going from the title it doesn't look like it shows Wertham in a positive light.
