    Guessing the message didn't elicit a reply then?

    Another 'not CGC' company is Australia's own Halo grading. Based on anecdotal evidence, I would not go there... That said, this one looks pretty tightly graded.

    It took me a very long time before I had credentials to post in this club. I'm hoping this will get me past the velvet rope...

    Yes, @gadzukes I had one of those briefly until it found a more appreciative home. I've always thought that the B&W interiors must have been a disappointment when the cover seems to imply coloured pages!

    I had to Google that. (here) Not sure I'd want to have a beer with either of them!

    This one arrived in the mail yesterday. It's the first square comic I've ever owned. It's also huge - just a touch smaller than an LP record sleeve. Here's a photo rather than a scan because it won't fit on my scanner. I wrote a bit about this on the 'GA in Australia' thread. Basically, Speed Gordon = Flash Gordon with the name changed because Australian slang at the time meant that it would be the equivalent of "person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed Gordon" in today's terms. The local editors had to go through and replace Flash with Speed everywhere it appeared: Gotta love the Alex Raymond art throughout. Less lovely is the poor quality paper. The cover stock is quite thin, which might be why it's only printed on one side. Now I have to find a way to store it safely...

    Supercomic 13

    From the album: Australian golden (and a few silver) age comics

    An unusual square comic. At just under 12" each side, this is about the same size as an LP record sleeve.

    I thought you must have made an error in typing the same dimension twice... nope. This thing is a freak of nature!

    Those are my favourite EC books. Kurtzman was a superb visual story teller.
