Superman's Pal Jimmy Olson #148

There are 45 book published for April of 72' between Marvel and DC. There are considerably more if I move outside the boundaries the big two provide. My primary goal is to purchase the highest grade I can afford before sending them into CGC for grading. Of course there will be some exceptions, for instance Action Comics #411.

At two different comic book conventions I found some really nice copies worthy of grading. Some I still have, while others I turned over for onsite grading in Philadelphia. One of the books I found there I didn't have the time to turn over, then again I didn't have the book until the convention was almost over. I purchased the last issue of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olson that Jack Kirby worked on, which is just as cool as four issues earlier with Darkseid's first appearance, or maybe it's cooler.

I would have held off getting the book graded but I had the chance to have Neal Adams add his scrawl to it. It was the only signature I got for myself at the convention, and even though I do have his signature on other items, it's this one, provided the grade was acceptable, that I would keep. So, after turning this book over in June, it is now on its way back to me. One more accomplishment on my birthday book list and surprisingly enough I've been choosing DC over Marvel.

Thanks for Reading
