The monster books sound cool.

I have an old TP Monster Masterworks with a lot of those great old Kirby, Ditko, Lee stories in it (including the original Fin Fang Foom)!

May have to pick those suckers up!

Have you asked anyone to make a poster of that for your office?

Agent_Desmond · Joined: 11 Jul 2005 Posts: 1065

I'm thinking that Jim should do wallpapers

John Byrne did SIX of those swipes. Six swipes of the same cover. Wow, man.

Scott, someone else pointed that out to me. I'm wondering if Byrne has a little database for making covers so that he can just go, "Okay... today i think I'll use cover template #67-B-KIRBY"?

I don't know how to make wallpaper.

Avengers #4 was in the old thread--there were only about 6 of them as I recall. Byrne claims to have done 7 or 8 of FF1--these are the only ones I've been able to find. Actually, Keving Maguire wins the prize with his own Justice League #1 cover (I'll get to that next, maybe).
