TWO FUN-LOVING GUYS ... In Their Own Deadly Case! It all starts here in Firestorm #46... picks up in Blue Devil #23... and concludes in Firestorm #47! Concocted by Gerry Conway & Joe Brozowski, Mishkin, Cohn, & Kupperberg! Get in on the action... NOW!
Wow, that's a hell of a lot of ellipses for one house ad, huh? One of these books was canceled a year later, and the other underwent a sweeping creative revision, so were either of these guys helping the other? I can't recall if I ever owned all the Nuclear Man parts, but I definitely enjoyed the Blue Devil issue (and likely the concluding chapter as well.) I followed that series as a kid through 25¢ copies resold at flea markets (none of which still exist, by the way.)
Dude! Love the post! Blue Devil and Firestorm!! I'm in heaven!
ReplyDeleteI gotta ask... did you recolor that ad? The colors are amazing! I tried scanning the same ad a few months ago and mine came out looking like crap. Yours is gorgeous!

Two important factors in the quality of this scan:
ReplyDelete1) It was taken from a comic with high quality Baxter format stock instead of the usual crap paper.
2) I enhanced the art using Nero Ultimate Edition 7 filters to improve the exposure, colors, "noise," rotation, and contrast. The program is very easy to use, and much of it is automated. I also did some light touch-ups to remove bits of grain, discoloration, and stray ink blots.
If you'd like, you can either replace your scan with this one, or I can send you a new one with your preferred dimensions. It's no bother either way.
As always Frank, you're super-cool. How about I go one better and just link back to you. That way you get the credit for it.

Wellll... I do use really foul language and offer a semi-regularly series of posts about a softcore porn heroine, so there might be some issues with linking. You know your audience better than I, so I leave it in your hands. I don't worry overly much about ...nurgh... traffic, as I try to keep it as random and counter-intuitive as possible, given my schedule. The image remains there for you.
