The main thing is.....you are enjoying the hobby....like when you were a kid. ahhhhhh......Stumbo the Giant. I loved those 60's Harveys cuz they showed so many covers to other books for sale. That always intrigued me. I never got much into Horror books.....but I can still remember seeing the covers of House of Mystery books......and other scary books from DC during the early 70's. I didn't even know who Wrightson was.....but the covers were great. Crack away my friend......crack away !!

HEY !!!.....I don't see a statue of Plastic Man in there?? Whats up with that??

Looks good to me too, and hey, at least you got one. You can always upgrade if you got the $$$

Probably not too much about Mario. Resident Evil however........

My copy.....complete with bibliography. I myself am a Wertham sympathizer....but lets not go there. I've already been CENSORED once on a message board for offending the "all knowing, all powerful" Wertham haters... My copy is a 100% re-publishment of the original book from 1954, complete with bibliography..... from 2004.....and is limited to 220 copies.... I picked it up for something around $80 on ebay. One thing I would like to say in Werthams behalf......is he was definatley NO CRACKPOT !!! The guy had his mess together. He was NOT a comic hater....as a matter of fact.....he, like most adult americans at that time.....paid little to NO attention to comics and was also....TOTALLY AGAINST CENSORSHIP....... So.....like I said above......lets not go there. Anyways.....why argue with me..... read it for yourself.....

I'm 49 today.....but I'll be 50 in Jan, so I'm guess I'm moving into the smaller crowds

Wow !!.......what else is there to say.......(yea, even though this happened almost 4 years ago) .....Wow!!

Same with my Det. 111.......I opened it as soon as I got it.

Thats a SUPER SWEET book fish !! And I can tell right now that my digital camera pics are just not gonna cut it around here. I'm gonna have to get a scanner......cuz these scanned pics are really nice. Bright clear and well focused. But until then you get..." book-under-the-lamp-and-hand-held-digital-camera-trying-to-get-a-shot-with-no-glare" pictures !! Picked this one up not too long ago. I love that BIG Detective Logo.....

Something I notice about all you guys with comic rooms......is how neat and orderly they are. Everything is in its perfect place. Must be a by product of being a collector. My parents never really appreciated my comics but they appreciated that my room seemed to be in order........most of the time Are comic book collectors "Neat Freaks"?

Prints of what I wonder? I'll bet its not outrageously dressed female heroes with triple D headlights doing some bad guy bopping !! Nice arrgh......do those black file cabinets contain comics?... or is that a stupid question?

Hey grinder.....I grew up in Redondo Beach. Even graduated from Redondo High....back in.....uh....back in....well, it was quite awhile ago It was a much quieter beach town then.......kinda slow and sleepy. My folks still live in Hollywood Riviera and whenever I visit I love to just drive around and see all the changes. Maybe take a walk along the esplanade........ *sigh* ......memories....

What a great cover this one is. I was thinking, since the BT is under water....how his punch moved fast enough to knock that guys helmet off? He must be a SUPER HERO....... And those Electric guns......thats cool. Not very feasable ......but cool.

Sweet !!! Congrats on finishing the run. Is that comic "digest" size.....like Golden Comics Digest or the Archie Digest that sell in the grocery store checkouts?

Very nice numspar !

I myself don't care for signatures on the front cover. It detracts from the artwork that I want to look at. Still, theres not gonna be too many of those around (signed ones) especially if you were there when he signed it.....cuz now its personal. Its a memory. I guess you could get another unsigned one and have a matching set. Its a beautiful book though. How about some more Plastic Man. I picked this up a couple months ago. Its smooth and flat and tight....but has one small tear near bottom left (bout 1/2 inch) just under Woozy's foot. I think its probably still at least a 7.5 or an 8.0

Wow !! Thats awesome John72tex......what does your wife think??

Dang !!.....all the good comics are getting bought up !!

Thanks Cap.....I knew it was somethin like that. My oldest Marvel is a Conan 3.....but there is still time

Wow !! Those Silver Streak Comics are beautiful!! Some of that is Cole art too, if I'm not mistaken. Here are latest two aquisitions......

Hmmmm......high school and prison are the two "shower together" thoughts that came to my mind.....if its not one of those two......I don't think I want to know

That Two Gun Kid issue looks strange without having a picture of his face up in the top left corner like most of the Marvels did. It looks kinda bare or something. Cool book though....very nice!

......its good to see a sense of humor around here.....and also....that you all know each other pretty well....(first name basis). Are any of you out in Oregon???

Well, here she is. MM #58. Its a really nice book.....solid, tight, and bright. I grade it at a Fine to Fine +.....but I know I might be a bit out of touch with the current parameters of grading these days........when I started collecting, every thing was Good - Fine or Mint......not all these numbers. I'll have to get used to using them properly. I did see a thread about having other people grade your books....or at least give you their opinion. Maybe I'll take some new pics and post it up there.....to see if I'm close to everyone else.

Hi all......some very nice books in this thread. I currently own.....only one Timely......are new guys allowed to post pics of their Timely's here too??? Have any of you seen the Marvel #1 up on ebay right now? Its way outta my league.....but still makes me drool just lookin at it. Here the link......anybody know this guy? http://cgi.ebay.com/Marvel-Comics-1-Timely-Unrestored-CGC-6-0_W0QQitemZ130232228542QQihZ003QQcategoryZ68QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
