Aquaman Big Little Book Original Art

sg
Wow, here's a real find--the original cover art to the 1968 Aquaman Big Little Book, titled "Scourge of the Sea."

F.O.A.M.er Jerry Resendes sent me a link to an eBay auction featuring this rare piece of Aqua-arcana. The seller is asking a mere six grand, so I'm sure a bunch of you will head on over there to pick this up.

Thanks Jerry!

Didn't I send you better photos of that very item a while back? The current seller must've bought the artwork from the previous seller (who had much better pictures on their auction)... the original seller has somehow managed to get access to the Whitman warehouse, and has been selling all sorts of great stuff for years!

Hmm, I don't remember that, Jon, and I don't have anything like that in my files. But of course that doesn't mean you didn't send it to me...

Ah, I see... I had them in my Big Little Book files, not my Aquaman files! You can find the photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonknutson/3278807211/sizes/o/in/set-72157603634623681/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonknutson/3279627928/sizes/o/in/set-72157603634623681/ -- I could've sworn I had larger photos, but at least there's a few of the interior art there!

WOW... that is QUITE a find indeed. Oh, to be rolling in extra bucks. Lots of extra bucks! Cool to see, though!
